RetroGaming Shorts Part 082 - Dungeons of Zedd

Dungeons of Zedd 2022 (ZX-81)

This modern action dungeon crawler is what we now call a "roguelike", due to its randomly generated dungeons. I think it has twin stick style WASD+IJKL controls, although the pacing of the game makes it look okay with 8 directional movement plus fire as well.

There are a lot of interesting game design details here, like the way you are limited in experience point gain between boss fights, and the way some enemy gangs respawn at their original spawn points when the last member of the gang is killed.
