This game began life as a tribute to the games like Zork(tm) and others back when the author's only computer was a lowly Commodore 64. It was originally written in Basic, and somewhat limited due to the 64's small memory size. 2.0 The Story of Dungeons of Thuria The story of "Thuria" should be familiar to those who spent countless hours painstakingly drawing maps for Adventure or Zork in the wee hours of the morning when they should have been studying or sleeping. You are deposited in a mysterious land with only a single clue as to how to get home. You find a ragged note which describes how to find a portal which will take you back to your own world. Of course, the way home is riddled with puzzles and deadly traps. __________________________________________________________________________ Last Updated: October 29, 1998
