The RC stood for Restricted Configuration. (I didn't remember it
correctly either.)

Wonderful! What a beast! Nice to see the Model 35 TTY working so well too.
Wumpus runs on my HP 85, but it's not quite the same experience ;-). Curiously
it's one of the kids favorite vintage games.

Fun. Would love to see more Wumpus, but turn the camera 90 degrees.
Was it written in FORTRAN? Machine code? Feasible to port other
games of the vintage?

Indeed. A file mark is 17 octal with even parity, regardless of the
