It was a search game as I recall and the Wumpus was also on the move.

For what it's worth, take a look at the FlashFloppy firmware for the Gotek:
https://github.com/keirf/FlashFloppy
Open-source and handles a lot of different formats. Doubtless the RX50,
if not one of them already, could be easily made so.

Yes, that’s the one I have!
The thinner one (with colored pages?), I have never seen.
