**WANDERER** by Steven Shipway, Warwick University 1988

Wanderer is a text puzzle game which uses [[VI keys]] to navigate a cave with multiple hazards.  The object is to gather up treasure by strategically pushing boulders and avoiding hazards.  Once all treasure
is recovered from a level, find the WAY OUT to advance.
