I've removed advertising from most of this site and will eventually clean up the few pages where it remains.
While not terribly expensive to maintain, this does cost me something. If I don't get enough donations to cover that expense, I will be shutting the site down in early 2020.
If you found something useful today, please consider a small donation.

None of those are like playing on a terminal, but you can have that if you want: Resource page for wumpus 1.5

I remember spending hours on this game on my TI 99/4a PC. Maybe I will see how good I am now..

I never played wumpus but I do recall it being on some of the systems I encountered back when Jimmy Carter was being attacked by rabbits while fishing. <Smile>
I never was one for playing computer games. Getting the machine to do what I wanted was enough of a challenge.
