First released in 1983 for the Commodore 64, Sword
of Fargoal
was a classic roguelike from Epyx (who also produced the first commercial version of
Rogue
). Players took on the role of a warrior tasked with retrieving the Sword of Fargoal, the only thing that could defeat the evil wizard Omla, from the twisted hell of the Dark Dungeon. Now, relive those days in this enhanced emulation.
One of the first games in the "roguelike" genre,
Sword of Fargoal
embodied many of the iconic qualities of roguelikes, with procedurally generated levels, grid-based movement, and eventual death.Minimum
