'Dungeon' is the original -- all us old grey bearded Adventurers
automatically think 'dungeon' when other people say 'zork' -- the
Infocom game is based on dungeon; I think they used some of the
dungeon code at first; they might even share some of The Implementors.

Anyone got a source for 'Advent' too?  (I used to but I lost it
one disk crash some time back)  Might as well have the Classic of
Classics up too...
