Pitfall
1984
How deep can you go? In Pitfall you manoeuvre your ship down a seemingly neverending shaft while avoiding the rock edges and disembodied faces. Use the left right keyboard keys to move your ship side-to-side and use the up and down arrows to slightly speed your ship up or slow it down. Hitting rock faces will take points off your hit-points but hitting those creepy floating faces will mean instant death. Your ASCII graphics ship has ten hit points to start with. Five additional points are rewarded as you manoeuvre further down deeper into the shaft every three thousand points. Occasionally you will find a floating star in the depths which will reward you a bonus of two hundred points. There are no multiple attempts down the shaft. Each destroyed ship means you must start all over again.The Dungeons of Moria

The Dungeons of Moria, or just Moria, is a roguelike computer game inspired by J. R. R. Tolkien's novel The Lord of the Rings.

Aldo's Assault" is the third in a series of MS-DOS platform/arcade titles inspired by the Super Mario Bros. series. The player controls Aldo who climbs ladders onto steel beams while dodging barrels and grabbing treasure. A timer counts down and each bit of treasure adds to the player's score at the end of each stage. Aldo eventually careens across the skyscrapers of Kong City attempting to steal a treasure chest from an enemy helicopter, and in the next stage we realize he is a wanted criminal. No giant ape makes an appearance, and barrels materialize from no where to torment Aldo. If a player loses all of their lives, they are pushed back to the DOS command prompt.Once Upon a Forest

Like all inhabitants of Xanth, Mim has a unique magical ability, the so-called talent. In his case he is able to conjure a magical mirror which can then be used to talk to any person he wants to, regardless of distance to that person. His talent makes him a quite important member of his local community, the Gap village. He serves as the villages' liaison to King Trent the ruler of the lands of Xanth, who resides in castle Roogna.
