Legends speak of a labyrinth created by the mind of a dreaming elder dragon. This maze is filled with the promise of wealth, power and danger. Discover an endless length of corridors with spectres and monsters appearing out of thin air, and strange happenings occurring the deeper one travels and survives.
You play as a young dragon, perhaps trapped here, perhaps tempted by the wealth and power that drives your kind. Regardless, you have little choice but to find your way through the
corridors and chambers of the labyrinth, finding glory, or perhaps escape. Direct your dragon through a sprawling labyrinth, hunting for treasure, power, and danger!
There are thousands of possible maps to explore, either randomly selected or predetermined, along with eight different types of enemies, one mid boss, one final boss, and one hidden boss.
There are power-ups to increase firepower or health as you delve deeper into the labyrinth and an easter egg or two, of course! This game is, among other things, an experiment in procedural maze generation for the Atari 2600.
Dragon's Descent is available from the AtariAge store on cartridge, along with a full-color, 12-page manual, and professionally printed box, and is an NTSC-only game.
