'''''Dungeons of the Unforgiven''''' is a first-person, [[Turn Based Tactics]] game released in 1993 by Moraffware for MS-DOS. It is the third in a loose series of dungeon-crawlers by author Steve Moraff.
''Dungeons'' is set in a large array of tunnels populated by fantasy monsters, with a safe town at the top level. It is noted for its very detailed graphics: although there's no animation, Moraff went to town on the artwork
The player starts by rolling or building a character, choosing from several races and [[Character Class System|classes]], then sets off into the dungeons. The object of the game is simply to become powerful - there is no prescribed route or quest, but the character levels up by fighting increasingly powerful monsters, which are found by exploring increasingly deep tunnels.

<!-- If you have at least one trope but you don't have a dozen tropes, replace {{Work Needs Tropes}} with {{Needs More Tropes}} -->
* [[Blade of Fearsome Size]]: The Great Sword. So cumbersome it can only be wielded by a fighter.
* [[Blessed with Suck]]: The player's character in "I can handle anything" mode.
* [[Immune to Bullets]]: Shadow creatures, which are the bosses, are immune to {{Spoiler|nuclear hand grenades}}.
* [[Level Grinding]]: Arguably the point of the game, since the only aim is to become powerful. Figting [[Boss Battle|shadow creatures]] helps but is not compulsory.
* [[Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards]]: The fighter class can use almost no magic, which becomes more of a problem as the player progresses. In-game help actually warns the player against using the class because of this limitation.
* [[Save Scumming]]: Possible, maybe even advisable. Only one saved game is allowed at a time for each character, so branching isn't officially an option.
* [[Squishy Wizard]]: Monks know all the spells in the game from the start, but have poor fighting skills and very few spell points, making them very vulnerable.
