Metagaming printed the bagged version of Death Test 2 with more natural colors than the boxed version.  (Pat Hidy, 1980)  [image via boardgamegeek]

Death Test 2 box cover by Pat Hidy, programmed adventure for Melee/Wizard/The Fantasy Trip, Metagaming, 1980.

Despite the fact that both Death Tests have only one level as I recall, and overlooking the unfortunate choice to print the box cover in preppy pink and green, I like the idea of the access hole in the floor/ceiling instead of the usual stairs.  D&D module B1 also includes a room with a hole that can be used to climb down if the players figure out how to fasten a rope. I often add a similar access hole in my own dungeon maps, inspired by those examples.
