------------------------------------------

The "dungeon crawl" genre has been around a very long time and it's interesting to see just how primitive, yet feature-rich, the old ones were in comparison to the other kinds of games that were available. Telengard is extremely similar to an earlier dungeon crawl called DND, but where most copies of DND created for various systems were text-based, Telengard has graphics! ;)

I also really like that, as of this writing in mid 2016, Dan's website is still up, as is the page for this game and its download! Not 100% certain who's maintaining its presence, but they're awesome for doing so! :)

Additional Information and Corrections:

* If you wanna try this game for yourself simply head on over to the Telengard page on the Adventure Quest website: http://www.aquest.com/telen.htm

* Mental Note: Try not to do math when you're really tired... I mentioned at one point about the boxes with buttons that the worst case scenario will result in 16 attempts to get it open, but I recounted, and worst case scenario if you do everything perfectly is actually 13 attempts. The total damage you could suffer is still 24 HP though.
