Welcome to Dungeon.                     This version created 16-Jan-03.
This is an open field west of a white house with a boarded front door.
There is a small mailbox here.
A rubber mat saying "Welcome to Dungeon!" lies by the door.

But that "backport" was done by me, and requires an RSX system with 
split I/D-space to run...
I think in general V2.6 was the last version that was generally 
available for PDP-11s.

However, there are many different versions of that game...

I would guess that would be ZEMU? Do you have the RSTS/E fixes around. I 
have been hoping for ages that someone would just try and get it running 
under RSTS/E, since then I could incorporate those fixes into the 
distribution as well.

There are a bunch from DECUS, I believe.
Afraid I can't help much, though. All stuff I got is for RSX.
