Popular games for collection Dandy Dungeon

One of the earliest Dungeon Crawl games. Written in 1983 for the Atari 8-bit computer line by John Palevich and published by Atari in their APX catalog. Dandy is an up to 4 player cooperative dungeon crawl. The game was ported to the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC. It was the inspiration for games like Dark Chambers and the very popular Gauntlet series.

Dark Chambers is an arcade action game similar to Gauntlet. You are an explorer in an underground maze; your goal is to survive the 26 different levels and collect as many of the hidden treasures as you can. Hidden somewhere in each of the levels is an exit which will take you on to the next level. Trying to stop you from completing your quest are a wide variety of creatures, including zombies, wraiths, skeletons, wizards, and the grim reaper. Each of the creatures in the game has a different strength; when you shoot a creature, it will transform into the next weaker creature. Eventually a creature will become the weakest one (a zombie) at which point it can be destroyed. In addition to the creatures and treasures, other items that can be found in the maze are keys (to open doors), potions (to restore health), poison (drains health), guns (increases your firing rate), traps, shields, and bombs. The game is played from an overhead point of view, and is for one player or two players simultaneously.
