Like Hunt the Wumpus on steroids (or LSD)!

The author of Hunt the Wumpus, Gregory Yob, aka Hara Ra, aka Gregory H. Coresun, passed away in 2005, and had his head frozen at Alcor's Scottsdale cryonic neuropreservation facility, where he now resides among the great COBOL programmers.

I'm choosing to believe that Alcor has a Hall of Frozen Heads of Great COBOL Programmers.

Those would be the all caps rooms (COBOL, FORTAN, LISP).

This was the first game I played as a small child and it was far too frighting for what it was.
