While off topic, I'm keen to know if anyone has created a visual form of the
old "Adventure" game.  It too was an important time in my computer life.  I
dread to think of the hours lost in "twisty little passages all alike", but
it was really great.  Required a bit of imagination.  And reading the source
code didn't hurt! :-)  I'd be interested to see if a visual form would still
be attractive.
