A Fighting Fantasy adventure from the mind of Ian Livingstone.

Deathtrap Dungeon, a challenging action game based on the best-selling Fighting Fantasy gamebook by Ian Livingstone, in which you venture into the most dangerous place in the whole realm in search of fame and fortune, is available on GOG.com, for only $5.99

Hear me, hear me! The distinguished Baron Sukumvit, glorious regent of the city of Fang, protector of the people, defender of no crown, bane of all who dare oppose order, challenges all brave men and women to enter his famous Deathtrap Dungeon! Anyone bold enough to accept this challenge and amuse his Lordship and his noble guests by fighting the demonic deadly denizens of the dungeon, may apply to enter the contest at the city guard office. The challenger who survives all the levels of His Lordship's playground and slays the fierce red dragon Melkor residing in the final chamber, will receive a royal price of no less than 10 000 golden coins and will be allowed to the Fang's throne. So sayeth our beloved ruler, Baron Sukumvit. Hear me, hear me!

Deathtrap Dungeon is a third-person perspective action game that puts you in the middle of a monster-infested, trap-filled maze created with the sole purpose of torturing adventurers for the amusement of nobility. As the brave warrior Bandog, or Red Lotos the fierce Amazon, you will fight a variety of over 50 monsters with your vast selection of fantastic weaponry and magic spells. You'll be also solving various puzzles in order to continue your journey into the depths of the maze, where your ultimate enemy awaits. Based on the popular Fighting Fantasy gamebook by Ian Livingstone, Deathtrap Dungeon presents an unprecedented challenge and rewarding gameplay, while fulfilling this story's destiny which has always been becoming a video game!

Accept the Baron's challenge and, keeping in mind the gold and power that can be yours, boldly step into the ominous Deathtrap Dungeon, for a small entry fee of only $5.99 on GOG.com.

Fuzzyfireball: There was also Privateer 2, Academy, and Secret Ops too.
Funny, I never heard of Academy before, you played it? Also Secret Ops was a downloadable expansion to Prophecy correct?

Bloodygoodgames: Looks kind of fun.

Here's a Let's Play for the game --

Leroux: This one appears a little more helpful (missing the intro video and not a native speaker but it's the PC version and I think you'll still have an easier time to understand what the commenter is saying):

Btw, I find it funny to note how some games seem to share the same sound libraries, I think I've recognized a sound that was used in NWN later on, just as Divine Divinity's environmental sounds strongly reminded me of Gothic. :)
Yep...that's a lot better video -- although mine does have the naked butt girl :) Thanks. I didn't see that when I did a quick search on YT. And I usually like the 'non native speakers', especially the Dutch, the Scandinavians and the Germans, they always seem to be good Let's Players and speak pretty much perfect English.

Wait a bit, and we'll have "sound bit spotters" in the gaming scene. Just like the people who will meticulously record any Wilhelm scream ever used in any movie. :)

I've been meaning to have a wack at this game for a LONG time becuase 99% of it sounds perfect for me. THEN there is the save system combined with the difficulty. If a game is going to be hard be it tough battles or tough jumps then I better damn well be able to save WHENEVER I want.

I feel bad but that 1% is enough to keep my pocket change in my pocket for now. :( Maybe I can ninja it or something. :)

I've just watched a bit of a Let's Play, but it looks like you can save the game whenever you want to? Is that what you want?

All i remember is that you played with as a dude with a sword, and you could make pieces of art by hackign monsters up in their various components. I want to play this again.

Academy was storyless and was pretty much just fights. Also yes, Spec ops was a free download for Prophecy, there was also some other missions by Origin you could download separately.

Academy if I recall was basically just the simulator from WC2.

Spec Ops was a standalone episodic story using the backdrop of Prophecy. At one point they released all the episodes for free (if you still had your registered key you got with episode 1)

All in all pretty mediocre game. I bought this ages ago when it came out originally, got it cheap too, as the place I bought it had priced it wrong. I played it through once, but the game really doesn't have much re-play value.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!! This was THEE WORST game on the PSX!

I wanna get it just for the sentimental nostalgia!

It would have been better if you just released the book. The book is actually one of the best FF's in the 50+ series, the game on the other hand being the exact opposite end of the scale.
