DUNGEONS OF DEATH
A 1980’s homebrew game written in IBM Advanced BASIC programmed to use TSR D&D 1st edition Basic rules
Game mechanics: Random dungeon generator; no path reversal. There is no help screen and in-game information scrolls via FOR…NEXT loops – comprehension is inversely proportional to CPU speed. John and I were 15. What do you expect?
The market, dungeon halls, and rendered monsters were fun to build.
