Are there any short "one sitting" PC games similar to Adventure? Maybe 
something that can randomize but still be completed in under an hour?

Thanks!

I read about "The Ground Gives Way" recently and have since played it a
little. It's a roguelike game which could be completed in an hour. No
character leveling or XP, success depends on the loot you find...

The game's free and available from http://www.thegroundgivesway.com/

Its ASCII, perhaps even a little further back then the era I was looking 
for. Definitely worth a look though, thank you!
