Sword of Fargoal is a dungeon exploration game developed by Jeff McCord and published by Epyx only on the VIC-20 in 1982. In 1983 it was ported to the Commodore 64. The Protectorate Sword which was forged to vanquish evil has been stolen by a powerful wizard named Ulma and placed deep in an underground dungeon. Only when this sword is retrieved and given to Gedwyn the blinded hero, will Ulma be destroyed forever. The game is an example of a roguelike game. Roguelike games are games characterized by their progressively increasing difficulty, procedurally generated level design, and permanent death, requiring that the player start from the beginning after each failure.
