Roguecraft DX takes the streamlined dungeon crawling mechanics of both the base Roguecraft, and its predecessor Rogue64 and not only expands upon them, but gives us the first non-Amiga platforms to enjoy it on. This episode dives into some dungeoneering on those two versions - firstly going portable on the Game Boy Color, and secondly (and more excitedly) the Mega65, the machine which realises the potential of Commodore's unreleased C64 successor.
