According to the _UNIX Book of Games_, by Janice Windsor, ISBN: 0-13-490079-0,
Willie Crowther's program was called "Adventures".  At least one interation
was written in FORTRAN IV, and that was what Willie sent to Don Woods for
enhancement.

You might try to get a hold of Willie Crowther directly to see about getting
the original source code.  Don Woods might even still have a copy of the original
code he got from Crowther.  Sorry, I have *no* email addresses for them, but
I am pretty sure they are still around.
