I would have to agree that Dungeon of Doom is a good game, but is it
possible for an earthbound human to get below the 10th level?

I have been to level 40 and retrieved the orb with my sage;
unfortunately his name is still "Mr. Awesome".  The only thing that I
am so far unable to do is to climb back out (some of the levels do not
have stairs going up where it seems they should be).  By the way,
after you get the Orb of Chronos, WATCH OUT for the Dark Wizard.

Good Luck,

Darin Adler

After playing Dungeon of Doom for hours, and not getting very far, I had 3
choices:
    1. Give up and put the disk away for awhile.
    2. Keep playing and hope for a little luck.
    3. CHEAT!!!

Anyone acquainted with me knows that I chose #3.  Basically, I was able to
decode most of the Character Data file.  This enabled me to modify my
character's stats and inventory.  By giving my self the best armor, the best
weapon ('Death Blade'), two rings (regeneration and x-ray), a scroll
(mapping +200), 25 for all six stats, and 200+ maximum hitpoints, I didn't
have much of a problem going down, getting the Orb, defeating the tough guy,
and exiting the dungeon.  Now that I've done it illegally, I hope to do it
legally some day.  Anyways, if you think I should post what I found out to
the net, send me some mail.  If I receive a lot of requests, I'll post what
I've found out.

P.S. I don't know which was more fun, figuring the file's format out, or
     playing the game.
