Fellow gamers,

I've been just lurking on the list for a couple years, but this is a
question to which I can at least provide some direction. To help get
a feel for this question and others of this sort, by all means check
out

and register (let us know you are from this mailing list).  Take a
look at the half dozen or so dungeon games circa 1976-1980, like
zavatar, 2avatar, 0moria, labyrinth, etc. It will give you a
snapshot of where things were at 25 years ago in our wonderful
little world.

Avatar is still, imho, as playable if not more than most modern
games.
