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.
