  Dungeon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A dungeon (derived from the Old French donjon, from the Latin dominus, "lord"), in its original medieval usage, was the keep, the main tower of a castle which formed the final defensive position the garrison could retreat to when outer fortifications were overcome.
The dungeon was a safe, if not comfortable, place to keep prisoners and was used mainly for this purpose, once more luxurious housing for the lord of the castle was constructured.
Its meaning has evolved to also mean an underground prison or vault, typically built underneath a castle.

 Temple of the Orc Mage review
There are a few that aren't--ironically, they're among the game's worst moments, since one involves a rather dubious property of cobwebs (don't expect this to work at home, kids) and the other is an utterly unexpected incursion of magic.
Most of what you're doing as you crawl through this particular dungeon is looking in and under objects, and if you find yourself stuck, well, it's likely that there's an object out there that you forgot to look under.

 MUD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Traditional MUDs implement a fantasy world populated by elves, goblins, and other mythical beings with players being able to take on any number of classes, including warriors, mages, priests, thieves, druids, etc. The object of the game is to slay monsters, explore a world rich in fantasy and with adventure, and to complete quests.
They chose the acronym MUD to stand for Multi-User Dungeon, and was designed to be a multi-user version of another PDP-10 game called Dungeon (or DUNGEN due to the six character filename limit), which was later commercially released by Infocom under the original development code name Zork.
These text-adventure games (both single and multi-player) drew inspiration from the paper-and-pencil based role-playing games (RPGs) such as Dungeons and Dragons which were approaching their peak popularity at this time, especially with the release of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons (ADandD) in 1977.
