Download Telengard - DOS game

Telengard is one of the earliest computer role-playing games, released in 1982 for various home computers like the Commodore 64, Apple II, and TRS-80 and later for PC. It was developed by Daniel Lawrence and was heavily inspired by DND, a 1970s mainframe game that itself took influence from Dungeons & Dragons. Telengard is a dungeon crawler where the player explores a randomly generated dungeon; unlike many early RPGs, combat happens in real-time rather than turn-based.

Retro gamer collector's corner:

Telengard was born as DND, a 1976 version of Dungeons & Dragons for the DECsystem-10 mainframe computer. He continued to develop DND at Purdue University as a hobby, rewrote the game for the Commodore PET 2001 after 1978, and ported it to Apple II+, TRS-80, and Atari 800 platforms before Avalon Hill found the game at a convention and licensed it for distribution.
