I'd guess that's probably a version of THE classic Adventure game by
Crowther & Woods. If this is the one, you're in luck: I recently found a
great site that has downloads of Adventure for numerous machines (even the
orignal PDP-10 Fortran source code!) and lots of fascinating background
information.

I've translated portions of the Adventure text into Olaetian and Siralla.
An audio sample of the Siralla version is on my Netscape page
(http://sites.netscape.net/thryomanes/languages.html).
