Fire one your 'crooked arrows' through the caves to kill the Wumpus in this text-based adventure game developed by Gregory Yob in 1973
ca:
Caça el Wumpus en català per ¿primera? vegada. Donau caça a aquest monstre sense caure a cap pou.
en:
In the game, the player moves through a series of connected caves, arranged in a dodecahedron, as they hunt a monster named the Wumpus. The turn-based game has the player trying to avoid fatal bottomless pits and "super bats" that will move them around the cave system; the goal is to fire one of their "crooked arrows" through the caves to kill the Wumpus. The source code to the game was published in Creative Computing in 1975 and republished in The Best of Creative Computing the following year.
The game sparked multiple variations and expanded versions and was ported to several systems, including the TI-99/4A home computer. It has been cited as an early example of the survival horror genre, and was listed in 2012 on Time's All-Time 100 greatest video games list.

Fun, but the keyboard is constantly covering the input box and it's really weird not being able to confirm that your keypress actually typed something (well you can, but you have to keep opening and closing the keyboard and that's annoying)
