The Action RPG has gone on a tremendous journey from the earliest days of gaming to what it's become now, and one of its earliest examples is Epyx's Gateway to Apshai, released in 1983.

This episode of Beyond The Scanlines dives into the Commodore 64 version of it, exploring how it plays as well as how it holds up.
