= WUMPUS and SUPERHACK

WUMPUS is a bit of retrocomputing nostalgia.  It is an *exact* clone,
even down to the godawful user interface, of an ancient classic game.
This version fixes two minor bugs in my original USENET posting of the
source.

The original "Hunt the Wumpus" game was written by Gregory Yob in
1973.  It was the first exploration game to use a non-grid worldmap,
distinguishing it from earlier grid-oriented games such as Trek and
predating even 1977's Colossal Cave Adventure.

The origin date of the BASIC source from which this game was
translated (and which is included in comments) is not known, but is
pretty certainly before 1980 and probably close to the original 1975
publication of the source in "Creative Computing".

One historical liberty has been taken; the logo of this project is
from a later version on the TI-99/4A with a graphical interface.

SUPERHACK is a satire, structurally quite similar to WUMPUS.

This code is commonly packaged as "wumpus".
