Caverns of Zoarre

Caverns of Zoarre © 1984 Hanlin III, Thomas

Early ASCII based RPG. The actual graphics are limited to a very small segment of the upper left screen, the rest of the information is presented in text. No enemies nor objects appear on the graphics side, you know about them from the text.

Upon start, you would pick a name for your character and roll for stats. Stats are randomized on every play and you can reroll until you find what you want.

The maps are fixed but the enemies are randomized. The game is quite difficult, as monsters tend to be rather tough.
