A short play of Dungeon!, published for the Apple II in 1982 by TSR Hobbies.
Tactical Studies Rules, inc, or simply TSR, the master of non-computerized RPGs, known for publishing the original tabletop role-playing game Dungeon & Dragons in 1974. In 1982 TSR Hobbies released three home computer games for the Apple II, among those was Dungeon!, a simple dungeon crawler.
Dungeon!, based on the 1975 board game of the same name was designed by Bruce Nesmith, who was hired by TSR in 1981 to design some of the company's upcoming computer games. Keith Enge helped with the design and did the programming.
Following the release of the three games in 1982, TSR withdrew from developing computer games and later went with third-party developers, like SSI. Nesmith stayed with TSR for a dozen years writing modules for D&D before returning to computer gaming for Bethesda Softworks in the mid-1990s. Here he worked on a number of games in The Elder Scrolls series and on Fallout 3 and Fallout 4.
