Dungeon Explorer

Dungeon Explorer takes the term “dungeon” very seriously—there’s a lot of it, and not much else. Released in 1990, this top-down adventure is part RPG, part patience test. You wander dark corridors, bash skeletons, and occasionally wonder if daylight still exists. The graphics are primitive, the story paper-thin, and yet… there’s a weird charm to it. The sense of discovery, the slow accumulation of loot, the grind that feels like medieval meditation. It’s what happens when “exploration” literally means getting lost for hours, and somehow, that’s part of the fun.
