Dungeon! is based on the board game of the same name, released by TSR Hobbies. Players enter an underground dungeon and search through rooms and chambers for treasure hoping to make it back to the entrance before death claims them. Monsters stand in your way. Higher difficulty levels require more treasure before leaving the dungeon. The game is controlled via the keyboard which is used to move your square blocky character through a series of rectangular corridors and rooms. It is the same dungeon maze each time.
