What was the original version of Hunt the Wumpus?
The original version of Hunt the Wumpus was created by Gregory Yob in 1972. The original version was quite a bit different than this version: it was text based, and was based on the vertices of a collapsed dodecahedron (rather than a grid). Each room (vertex) connected to 3 others (rather than four).

What’s the difference between Wumpus 2 and 3?
Yob later developed Wumpus 2 and Wumpus 3, which offered more hazards and other cave layouts. I have made some changes to what he created. There are 2 pits, which are quick kills, 2 Super Bats which will transport you to some other room, maybe dropping you in a pit, or in the room with the Wumpus itself!
How many rooms are there in Hunt the Wumpus?
Each room (vertex) connected to 3 others (rather than four). You can read more about it in the author’s Hunt the Wumpus. A bottomless pit (you will feel a breeze nearby).
Where do you shoot an arrow in Hunt the Wumpus?
Possible answers are m13 (“Move to room 13”) and s13-4-3 (“Shoot an arrow through rooms 13,4, and 3”). The range of an arrow is three rooms. At the start of the game, you have five arrows. The snag about shooting is that it wakes up the wumpus and he moves to a room adjoining the one he was in – that could be your room.
When did Jack Emmerichs make hunt the Wumpus?
In 1978, a book titled Superwumpus, by Jack Emmerichs, was published containing source code for both BASIC and assembly language versions of his unrelated version of Hunt the Wumpus. In addition to the original BASIC games, versions of Hunt the Wumpus have been created for numerous other systems.
