Merely to better inform the archive searchers, "dungeon" is not,
repeat not, (well, probrably not) "dungeons & dragons" - although
there are some unusual animals and treasures and puzzles in the caves.

Dungeon is a text adventure program, a successor to the several
versions of the famous "Adventure" by Crowther and Woods.  If you like
that kind of thing (I do), you should find dungeon quite challenging.
In about 1979, two or three postgraduates at Melbourne Physics
combined to solve its puzzles; it took them several weeks to complete.
Be prepared for frustrations - I still haven't progressed past the
first one-half to two-thirds of the game (after a few years!), so be
patient.
