Gateway to Apshai, developed by The Connelley Group and published by Epyx in 1983, is a pioneering action-RPG for the Commodore 64. Serving as a prequel to the renowned Temple of Apshai, this title blends fast-paced action with dungeon-crawling exploration.

You'll embark on a quest as the heir to Apshai's greatest warrior, navigating through eight levels, each containing 16 dungeons filled with over 60 rooms. Armed initially with a dagger and leather armor, adventurers confront a variety of monsters, discover treasures, and acquire magical items like potions and scrolls. The game's real-time mechanics, combined with a time limit for each level, add urgency and excitement to the exploration.

Notable for its smooth graphics and streamlined controls, Gateway to Apshai stands out as an early example of action-oriented RPGs on home computers. Its legacy endures as a significant contribution to the evolution of the genre.
