Heh, I think I had that game. Marroon colored case?
I'm not 100% positive, but I think years later I looked at
"Hunt the Wumpus", a text-based classic for Unix (and older?)
systems, and it occurred to me that the handheld must've just
been a graphical version of that game. Of course, by that point
I hadn't played the handheld for years, and wumpus was a little
too difficult for me to get into, so take it with a grain of salt.
http://www.taylor.org/~patrick/wumpus/instruct.html gives a
description, http://www.taylor.org/~patrick/wumpus/ is the game
itself in javascript.
Hunt the Wumpus might be very doable on the 2600, but comapared
to Skeleton a lot less action packed! The oldschool purists might
appreciate it tho.
