Released in 1982 for the Commodore VIC-20 (VC-20 in Germany) and Commodore 64, Sword Of Fargoal was one of the first "rogue like" games. Your quest is to find the sword of fargoal, which lies between the 15th-20th level of a randomly generated dungeon, and return it to the surface. Much easier said than done. Simple to learn, addicting to play, nearly impossible to beat... But fun the entire time. While the C64 version is a great game which features some minor improvements, the original VIC-20 version may well be the best game ever made for the system, and so I've chosen to look at that... Also I haven't fixed my C64 yet...

I "might" have found the Sword of Fargoal at 10:48 when I died, but I did not pick up on that at the time. I had read from the Wiki and seen from C64 videos that the sword level was different from all other levels, featuring maze like halls everywhere, no open spaces. I'm truly unsure if that's the sword or an enemy I've never seen. If it is the sword, the Wiki needs to be changed, because the original VIC-20 version is very different the C64 version. It certainly looks like a sword to me... Your thoughts?
