You are in a maze of little twisting passages, all different

[Todd Phenneger]

Hah,
  I remember playing that game on an old Victor 2000 computer. 
Green screen and I think no Hard Drive but maybe like 10mb.  At
least I think it was the came.  It also had Centipede on it.
  At the beginning did you have to guess a secret password to
get into the world?  I did, and it changed.  PITA.   Open Sesame
was one of them.   Open the stupid door even worked once.  I
think I was like 10 or maybe younger when I played it.   
  And it had fountains you could drink out of that would either
give you power or hurt you if they were poisened?
  Does anyone have a version of this game we can play on modern
computers???

  Todd  (missing some older computer games and thinking of
finding my old Atari to set up)  Every bit as a new Sony
Playstation I think.
