Line 2: [[File:dnd_9784.png\|frame]] ''dnd'' is one of the first [[Dungeon Crawling]] video games, written in 1974-75 by Gary Whisenhunt and Ray Wood for the [[Mainframes and Minicomputers\|PLATO Network]] and based, as its title says, on ''[[Dungeons ~~and~~& Dragons]]''. It was the first video game to use [[Boss Battle\|bosses]] as well as the [[Ur Example]] of the genre that would later be known as [[Roguelike~~\|Roguelikes~~]]s. You create a character, by [[Honest Rolls Character\|rolling the dice]] on five stats and [[Character Class System\|choosing a class]]. Then you enter the Whisenwood Dungeon in search of [[Plunder]] and the [[MacGuffin\|Orb]]. Being the PLATO Network, the game has graphics, and uses a [[Three Quarters View]] similar to the dungeons of ''[[The Legend of Zelda (~~Video~~video ~~Game~~game)\|The Legend of Zelda]]'', with the walls in top view, and your character in front view. You explore the dungeon, fighting monsters and collecting treasure. At the end of each level is a [[Mini Boss]] guarding a teleporter to the next level. You can leave the dungeon to rest, and use your treasure to buy items from a weapons shop and a magic shop. On your way back in, the teleporters let you skip completed levels. Line 14: Later versions added more dungeons, a Grail to collect in addition to the Orb, and more monsters and items. ''dnd'' inspired several more PLATO games, including ''[[Avatar (~~Video~~video ~~Game~~game)\|Avatar]]'' and ''[[PLATO Moria ~~(Video Game)~~\|moria]]''. Daniel Lawrence ported ''dnd'' to the PDP-10 minicomputer, and from there to 8-bit microcomputers as ''Telengard''. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== ''dnd'' provides examples of: ===~~ * [[Three Quarters View]] * [[An Adventurer Is You]] Line 34: * [[Plunder]] * [[Roguelike]]: The [[Ur Example]]. * [[Role -Playing Game]]: The first RPG videogame that still survives. * [[The Six Stats]]: Minus Charisma. * [[Trauma Inn]]: Rest when you leave the dungeon.
