Okay, I give up.

There were two mazes, were there not?  One with 12 rooms, including (or plus)
one with the vending machine in it, and one with perhaps 8 or 9 rooms, in
which the pirate hid the stuff he stole.  One of them used different per-
mutations of "little twisty passages," but the other called them all the
same thing, I think.

The big one was extremely interconnected--of the 10 possible directions of
movement, each room had passages going in 8 of them, for a total of 48
tunnels (I think :) ).  The little one was more strung out, and some of
the passages connected back to the room of origin.

This was the 350-point version, I believe, on an old PDP-11 micro.
