Yes the time is here another saturday morning blog; today we will be talking about therevolutionaryscenario Dungeon crawling. Dungeon crawling is a type of gamingscenario that allows players to navigate their hero in a maze like enviroment. I do believe that the first computerized dungeon crawler was pedit5 for the PLATO system. Though it did fail it was a revolutionary game that did start it all.

Dungeon crawling has come a long way since then, games that utilized this scenario were frequent and board games that utilized this scenario were frequent too. Linley's Dungeon Crawl is also a revolutionary game. Starting in 1997 it is one of the most popular roguelike computer game that still has many players today. On September 19th 2006 its successor Dungeon crawl stone soup was released and is widely one of the best roguelike rpgs out there. Players navigate their hero through mazes and dungeons, battling monsters, finding maidens, finding items and completing the game.

Hack and slash games have also branched out from this genre giving gamers Diablo, Dungeon Siege, and Shadowgate. Though pedit5 is long lost we still have the awesome games that it has left us.
