Ahhh.... Adventure.... All the plugh's and plovers and xyzzy's you could
shake a stick (of dynamite) at....

Does anyone remember a version that:

        If you went down from the hall of the Mt. king, you
        were in a room with a vault door. If you tried to
        apply any of the standard magic words (xyzzy etc)
        the door would fuse shut and something (a blob? a djinn?)
        would show up several turns later, chase you down, and
        kill you?

It ran on a CPM machine in the early 80's.
