Yep, saw your response, too.  Having browsed through various sources at 
the site Rhialto pointed to, I can definitely confirm that you are 
correct - the game I was playing was actually dungeon.  (I did say that 
it had been "many many years" since I'd played, so a small lapse of the 
memory cells can perhaps be excused?)

Thanks to both of you for the quick replies!
