        !            18: object of the game is to survive the attacks of various monsters and get
        !            19: a lot of gold, rather than the puzzle solving orientation of most computer
        !            20: fantasy games.

        !            30: the 20th level of the dungeon and get it out.  Nobody has achieved this
        !            31: yet and if somebody does, they will probably go down in history as a hero
        !            32: among heros.
