Deadly Dungeon

The Deadly Dungeon is a text adventure for the TRS-80.

The player has entered a deadly dungeon, and must collect the seven treasures held within, and return them to the starting sign in an old temple. All commands are via VERB + NOUN text entry. There is no save and restore feature, and the maximum score is 500. The player solves numerous inventory-based puzzles to complete the adventure.

There is a simple combat system, where the player is awarded a combat strength and number of arrows at the beginning of each adventure. The player must do battle with the denizens of the dungeon, where they can chose to either fight with their sword or shoot arrows at their foe. Shooting arrows is safe to kill an enemy, but the arrows are finite. When engaging with a sword, the player rolls against their opponent and if they fail, they die immediately.
