Interesting. I played a lot of Adventure when I was a graduate
student and then employee in the Computer Science Department at
Cornell. I started grad school in 1969 and got an MS and became an
employee in 1971. I can't definitively name the years, but I left
the University in 1976, and this was well before that.
We didn't run VM yet. I'm pretty sure I played a version under TSO.
I kept my hand drawn maps - too much work went into them to throw
them away. I wonder if I can put my hands on them now.

That seems unlikely; pretty much all the sources agree that Adventure
itself was written about 1975, and the Woods collaboration that really
enabled its breakout success was 1976.
So I think you probably meant 1980.
