Man, that's a blast! The great thing is, we're no longer restrained by
memory, so we could even convert the rooms to lists:

caveRoom = Room ()
room.exits = {'east':hallwayThree, 'west':guardRoom, 'north':'Your way is
blocked by a brick wall.'}

That would be a pretty major restructuring of the BASIC code, though. :)
