+dungeon (text adventure game)
+
+This "mainframe zork" has everything contained in the commercial ZORK I,
+part of ZORK II, and the endgame from ZORK III. Some mainframe computers
+don't have this full version, so if your mainframe doesn't have the
+endgame, the Bank of Zork, and the puzzle room, you are in for some
+new challenges.
+
+This version of Dungeon seems to be earlier than any of the ones available
+at www.if-archive.org. It was posted to USEnet ages ago. This build
+uses slightly modified sources, needed to get modern GNU Fortran to
+compile them.
+
+BTW, the source files say copyright INFOCOM, but allow non-commercial use.
+This was the last version before INFOCOM went commercial.
+
+This build includes the game map in /usr/doc/dungeon-$VERSION
+
+You can build a debugging (aka cheating) version of Dungeon by passing
+DEBUG=yes in the script's environment. This enables tracing and the
+GDT command.
