source code, has been placed at

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/games/textrpg

as the current version of Dungeon. The relevant parts of the
description file read as follows:

Title: dungeon
Version: 3.2.3
Entered-date: 2001-11-11
Description: A linux port of the Dungeon game once distributed by DECUS.
Originally written at MIT, this game is the predecessor to the
famous series of Zork games by Infocom. It is roughly
equivalent to Zorks I, II, and III combined. The game solution
is included as files hints.txt and endhints.txt. This version
is intended to replace version 2.5.6 and contains additional
puzzles which were later included in the commercial Zork games.
