There is record of one earlier dungeon-crawling game called "dnd",
|
||||
written in 1974-75 on the PLATO system at University of Illinois
|
||||
<<DND>>. This was in some ways similar to later roguelike games but
|
||||
not to Adventure. The designers of later roguelikes frequently site
|
||||
Adventure as an explanation, but not dnd; like PLATO itself, dnd seems
|
||||
not to have become known outside of its home university until
|
||||
rediscovered by computer historians many years after Adventure
|
||||
shipped.
|
||||
|
||||
There was also Hunt The Wumpus <<WUMPUS>>, written by Gregory Yob in
|
||||
1972. Though the wumpus was later included as a monster in the Nethack
|
||||
roguelike game, there is no evidence that Yob's original (circulated
|
||||
in BASIC among microcomputer enthusiasts) was known to the ARPANET- and
|
||||
minicomputer-centered culture Crowther and Woods were part of until well
|
||||
after Adventure was written.
