Gone Wumpus Huntin'

My favorite game when I was ... oh, let's say, 6 years old ... was "Hunt the Wumpus." It was for the TI 99/4A, the miniature home computer that has the noted distinction of being the only console ever endorsed by Bill Cosby - in a Freddy Krueger sweater. Among the games in the TI 99/4A library: a Pac-Man ripoff named "Munch Man", a Defender ripoff named "Parsec", and "Wumpus", based off a text adventure game from the 70s (but plays remarkably like Minesweeper.)

Recently, someone came up with a decent online version of the game (note: Java applet), but it still doesn't have the awesome title/death screens from the original. I'm pretty sure that when I first saw those glowing red eyes back in those days, I immediately dropped the joystick and ran downstairs. And probably calmed myself down with some soothing Cap'n Crunch.
