You are describing DUNGEON, which is another game than ADVENTURE.

You should be able to find it, if you search around.

DUNGEON was also the genesis of the ZORK triology, and the inception of 
Infocom.
Actally, DUNGEON was initially called ZORK, and was written in MDL. A 
person at DEC then did a reimplementation in FORTRAN, and called that 
version DUNGEON. A translation from FORTRAN to C exist, as well as a 
translation of the original MDL code into Inform.

If you want to just play it, contact me and I'll point you at machines 
where you can log in and just play.
