I am interested in the early history of computer role-playing games,
and so I have been seeking out and playing early examples of the
genre. The PLATO games (pedit5, orthanc, DND, Oubliette, etc.) are
easy enough to find on Cyber1. However, one game has eluded me: Don
Daglow's 1975 (or 1976) rpg Dungeon. According to Wikipedia
(<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeon_%28computer_game%29>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeon_%28computer_game%29),
Daglow wrote it on Claremont University Center's PDP-10 (although it
does not state for which operating system). The article also says
that the game was widely distributed via DECUS; while I did not find
anything looking through the tape archives on
<http://pdp10.trailing-edge.com>pdp10.trailing-edge.com, I do not
think I know what to look for.
Has anyone ever seen this game on any archive tapes on the net?
Otherwise, does anyone know where a possible copy may be found?
NOTE: This is NOT the prototype of Zork; this is an earlier game
that bears the same name.
If it ran on the PDP-10, I'd recommend asking on the PDP-10 USENET
group. Someone there might know something.
