Hi Vapour, Very cool, I used to pump quarters into that machine all the time. I think it was called Dungeons and Dragons Tower of doom, but don't quote me. The arcade machine was actually based on the older boxed set of dungeons and dragons rules and the world it took place in was Mystara and I believe it was the country of Darokin. If I remember right, you could be an elf, dwarf, fighter or cleric. I remember most the lizard man boat attack with the troll at the end that had fire thrown on it. Also the black dragon in the swamp...I can't recall anything else at the moment. Of course this was all too much information for you, but I didn't think anyone else played that game. Now that would be a great accesible game if it can be done. Perhaps it can be a module for the future USA games rpg title?
