A correction:  The other DUNGEON is not "the prototype of Zork".  ZORK (also
known as MADADV) was originally written in MDL (a Lisp dialect) on the Dynamic
Modeling Lab PDP-10 at MIT.  The Fortran translation of that game, known as
Dungeon, was done by "an anonymous engineer at DEC" (reputedly someone we all
know on this mailing list).
