What was this board game?

I played it back in the early 90's. You rolled dice (I think) to move spaces on winding paths around the board. There were hazards. one was a snake pit. I think every hazard had a card? There were definitely cards...not just for hazards. Anyway, this was a more serious board game, I guess. Not something like Sorry! or Guess Who?

Man, I don't remember much about this, but I played with with my friend and his dad. It was a lot of fun. Any ideas, H/A?

    Snake pit doesn't seem familiar, but it was it possibly Talisman?

    It's gone through several editions, and it uses cards, cards and more cards.

    Argh. Beated. Key to the Kingdom has cards for hazards where you have to have different equipment cards to beat them. I forget the specifics.

    YES! That's it! Ahh, memories. I played this when I was still learning the ways of the NES and had no tabletop experience. Good times. : ) Thanks everyone.

    Holy shit, other people have played Key to the Kingdom?

    I got it as a gift when I was a kid and every time I try to bust this out and get a game going people would just laugh at me.
