The player assumes the role of a rogue, in a fantasy-adventure setting of early role playing games. As the main protagonist, you embark on a quest for the amulet of Yendor in the Dungeons of Doom. The rogue searches deeper and deeper into a colossal cave of connected chambers, and along the way, discovers various magical items to help our hero overcome the increasingly powerful monsters that forcefully object the intrusion. Turning back is no option for you, as only the amulet can break the spell to enable an ascend to freedom.
