Charles 
It should directly in TSX-Plus .   Make sure your current memory limit is  56K.  
See below for my attempt. BTW TSX should only use RT11 to “boot”.
TSX doesn’t run over RT11SJ in this version.  TSX replaces all the OS code.

.sh memory
…...
Current job memory limit = 56Kb
Maximum job memory limit = 64Kb

.sh ver
6.20
.run advent

WELCOME TO ADVENTURE!!  WOULD YOU LIKE INSTRUCTIONS?

YES
SOMEWHERE NEARBY IS COLOSSAL CAVE, WHERE OTHERS HAVE FOUND FORTUNES IN
TREASURE AND GOLD, THOUGH IT IS RUMORED THAT SOME WHO ENTER ARE NEVER
…….
THIS PROGRAM WAS ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED BY WILLIE CROWTHER.  MOST OF THE
FEATURES OF THE CURRENT PROGRAM WERE ADDED BY DON WOODS (DON @ SU-AI).
THE CURRENT VERSION WAS DONE BY MIKE WESTON.

YOU ARE STANDING AT THE END OF A ROAD BEFORE A SMALL BRICK BUILDING.
AROUND YOU IS A FOREST.  A SMALL STREAM FLOWS OUT OF THE BUILDING AND
DOWN A GULLY.

If you want authenticity, then a PDP10 and a ASR33 are required….


Happy Spelunking
