This game popped into my head the other day, and man I'm glad it did! I freakin' loved this game BITD on my TRS80. So I begin to search the internet for it and BAM! There's a PC Port of this game: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeons_of_daggorath (at the bottom of the page).

I began playing it about 3 nights ago and DAMN I forgot how hard it was! But, I'm on level 4 now cruisin' the dungeon and can't wait to finish the game again, almost 30 years later...

Here's the amazing graphic capability showcased on the Tandy Color computer ;)

I'm hooked again...
 
Well I was a Vic-20 user back in the early 80's but one of my brothers had a CoCo, as did a cousin, so maybe that's where I would have seen/played it.

You gonna make any keychains for that title? ;)
 
I wish I still had mine...I played the hell outta this game as a tween / teen also and absolutely sucked at it but still couldn't stop myself from playing.

I've thought about picking up another CoCo 2 just for this game alone.
 
Man, I bought a "Trash" 80 coco2 a couple years back JUST so I could play this game once again in all it's glory. I used to play it at a friend's house all the time in my youth, but we never beat it (damn invisible enemies). Awesome game, though; I don't know what's cooler, the fact that it's both command-line and real-time at the same time, or the kick-ass heartbeat that plays in the background and speeds up when you're under attack...
 
Damn, this thread reminds me of that box of TRS80 carts I have somewhere lying around.
And it reminds me of the fact that I don't have a TRS80.
And that they are just kind of pricey over here.

Damn.
 
but we never beat it (damn invisible enemies).

You need to light the solar torch to see the scorpions, wraiths and the wizard's image on the 3rd level. The lunar torch will show a few dots when their in your cell but not until they're right up on you. Damn, I love playing this game again.
