Anyone recall this game? My first hunch was "Monuments of Mars" but apparently that isn't it.

"I'm trying to remember an old video game my mother used to play on our fist family computer. I believe it was an old IBM, but she thinks it was off-market because she thinks she bought it from Amway.


The one fact I do remember about the computer is that it had a KRAFT KC-3 joystick hooked up to it. Oh, and the keyboard was separate from the processor (don't know if that helps).
The game in question was green in color (because our monitor couldn't handle color or so I was told by my mom) where you played a guy who, for some reason, was on a different planet (i think it was a different planet). If I recall correctly, the game would scroll when you moved around.
The one monster I remember was some kind of venus fly trap creature that would shoot things at you.
I remember being underground a lot, working through caves, I never made it very far.
I wasn't very good (probably because I was eight). My mom got a lot farther than me and mentioned something about a spaceship you have to get to.
I think there were portals within the game that would transport you to different locations within the same vicinity, so a blocked off part of the cave you could see but couldn't get to could be reached if you found the correct transporter.
Any help would be appreciated."
