Hi Dark, Dungeon is worth taking a look at, there are some differences that make it something to look at. For example, the endgame is slightly different in terms of how it works. Also there's some different locations, and you don't have a silver skull nor a scepter as a treasure. I wouldn't say it's very different, just nice to check out a compilation of some of my favorite IF titles and definitely infocom classics. Best Regards, Hayden
