Was playing a bit of Stunt Car Racer for the Amiga this week, from 1989, and wondered how far back people are going!

    You have my attention, now sell me on it!

    Edit: I decided to give it a try. For anybody else interested, I believe the internet has archived it. It is listed under Mattel Intellivision, with the full title being D&D - Treasure of Tarmin

    Edit: scratch that. I have exec.bin and grom.bin in my Retroarch system folder, and I’m just getting a green screen with occasional flicker, followed by Intellivision Halted.

    Edit: bad ROM. What you want is Advanced D&D Treasure of Tarmin. I also grabbed the Mountain one to check out

      The Cloudy Mountain one is more like classic Intellivision stuff. I think that one was well-received at the time, but I actually don’t often hear much chatter about Treasure of Tarmin. Tarmin being a first-person dungeon crawler gives it some legs since it’s an inherently “classic” style, although calling the graphics and controls dated would be a huge understatement.

      Players are absolutely going to need the game manual, and even then some item use cases will have to be figured out.

        Yeah, I made it down like one floor I think lol. It was definitely interesting, and I’m not opposed to going back in. Thank you for the manual, I was being a bit lazy

        I think the other game I got was Cloudy Mountain. I have absolutely no idea how to play it, and I haven’t decided if I actually want to
