The Wumpus is on the Web, waiting. It hides in its warren of caves, protected from overzealous hunters by bottomless pits and ferocious giant bats. I found it while looking for Adventure, the Dungeons and Dragons-based game considered to be the first computerized fantasy game.
Adventure is here, too, although it's clunky.
I haven't seen a Java version of it yet, but it won't be long - there are already Java tributes to PacMan and Space Invaders , not to mention Shockwaved versions of Missile Command and Frogger. And you thought you'd put those arcade days safely to rest. But you can't escape the past on the Web. Indeed, you might not even realize that the past was once the past. A funny thing is happening.
