Dandy (c) APX 1983 & (c) Antic 1985 for the Atari 8 bit line of computers

Not only a predecessor to Dark Chambers, but essential blueprint for all Gauntlet-like games. I finally got a good image of this game (from www.atarimania.com), so it didn't take long for me to fire this gem up.

The game offers four players gameplay and a dungeon editor, with four distinct levels of difficulty. Not having played this game in a long time, I cowardly selected the easiest one, convenienty called TRIVIAL.

The final score of 400 275 could have easily be beaten, e.g. just by repeating the last level over and over again.. Anyway, the game was definitely fun to play through - and I'm already looking forward to giving the three other difficulty levels a try.

Using the Atari800Win PLus emulator (http://www.a800win.atari-area.prv.pl/) with standard Atari 800XL settings (XL/XE / 64kB RAM / PAL mode).
