I fondly remember playing DUNGEON on VMS, back in my larval-stage days.
I still remember my "warp to the endgame" incantation.  (Get to the
endgame and you get to provide a name, to which it responds with a
magic password.  Use the "incant" verb with the pair when in the main
game and it warps you to the endgame.  "incant, mouse fcjpzm" was mine;
even then, the Mouse identity was at least somewhat established.  I
remember picking the code apart with a debugger to figure out the
algorithm for turning the name into the password, though I've forgotten
the algorithm itself.)
