Story :

The Guild has chosen you to find and bring back the Amulet of Zendor, a powerful magical object lost long ago in the Cave, a dangerous dungeon full of danger and mystery.

This dangerous journey is also a journey through the history of computing, taking you through the levels as you would have done on a ZX81, C64, PC CGA, AMSTRAD, MACINTOSH, GAMEBOY... and of course ATARI ST!

  • Explore an infinite number of randomly generated levels.
  • Fight 26 different, increasingly powerful enemies.
  • Around 60 items (weapons, armour, scrolls, rings, potions) are available.
  • More than 50 achievements to unlock to obtain magnificent original illustrations.
  • Only 1 life

Great music but why so sad in-game tiles in character mode style if titles and menues are so much better?

Amazing stuff!  I hope the project continues and a 1.0 release will see it professionally published.
