Description
Dungeon is a Roguelike game. Like other games in this genre the player explores a dungeon in a top-down view and must collect loot and kill enemies to progress.
Each dungeon is generated randomly and only becomes visible during exploration. The player can only see one tile far. When encountering a monster the game automatically determines whether the player wins the fight or not, and (if the player survives) how much hitpoints he or she loses.

Trivia
Grues
Curiously, for a game whose publication pre-dates the commercial publication of Zork, its roster of potential enemies includes the creatures Infocom made famous, grues. The author must either have spent some time on a terminal (or at an MIT computer lab) playing Mainframe Zork (in a twist, itself also eventually distributed under the name "Dungeon"), or derived it from the same original source the Infocom Imps had read, the Dying Earth novels of Jack Vance.
