Akalabeth: World of Doom

This is the oldest game I've seen officially available and was quite curious to try a game that's two decades older than me. At first it was pretty rough - the food mechanic (i.e. actions available, which includes every single step) and it was easy to get lost, since the whole place is just white lines that form corridors and there's no map, so you have to remember your pathing. The combat was actually fair. The early monsters were easy to tackle and there was a normal difficulty curve. However, I didn't go through the whole "normal" journey, because after getting lost a few dozen times I decided to research how the game works and discovered that there's a pretty easy way to become overpowered as a wizard, which resulted in beating the game without further assistance afterward. It was a unique experience to play something as old and see where some games have evolved from, but it should still be approached with the understanding that it's a game older than half the current human population.

Complaining about a game being old is a bit silly, but there's not a lot here. It's also really unintuitive and almost impossible without using exploits.

Basically just an early prototype of what would become Ultima I. Start with Ultima I, leave this one alone.

I rather like the simplicity. The bonus DL with music is nice but I wonder if anyone ever got thix to work https://reconstruction.voyd.net/index.php?event=project&typeKeyword=remakes
