I first played it as dungeon on a vax, I believe it was the fortran version.

One detail I vividly remember is reading a listing deep in some cavern that said something about MEMQ




Replying to my own comment. I decoded it from the original dtextc.dat file:

  Object: 122: stack of listings
   There is an enormous stack of line-printer paper here.  It is barely
   readable and totally unintelligable.
  Initial:
   There is a gigantic pile of line-printer output here.  Although the
   paper once contained useful information, almost nothing can be
   distinguished now.
  Flag1: -8176 (burn take read visible)
  Size: 70
  Room: 137 (Tomb of the Unknown Implementer)
  Read:
   <DEFINE FEEL-FREE (LOSER)
    <TELL "FEEL FREE, CHOMPER!">
    <MEMQ ......
   The rest is, alas, unintelligable (as were the implementers).
