In my ongoing effort to run one of my favourite calculator games on all my programmable calculators and pocket computers, here is Hunt the Wumpus, from 1973, running on the HP Prime.

Hunt the Wumpus is a text based adventure game originally developed in BASIC and subsequently ported to a number of languages and platforms.

This video details and demonstrates Hunt the Wumpus ported to the HP Prime Python environment.
