Story[edit]
Under Construction
Development[edit]
DND1 was a free-time project of Richard Garriott, inspired by Dungeons & Dragons. He wrote it in 1977 while in high school. It was coded using BASIC, and most of it was written on punched tapes fed into the school's PDP-11 computer, using a teletype as the output to print the game screen as it changed.
Two years later, Garriott's successor to this game (DND28) was ported to an Apple II computer as D&D28b, which added dungeons in 3D from a first person perspective and became his first commercial game, Akalabeth.[1]
In April of 2014, Portalarium ran a contest for community developers to port DND1[2], offering prizes for the best Web and Unity version. The winners were announced in Update 78[3]. The Teletype was added to the Add-On Store during Release 22, and was first playable in Release 23.
The game features only black and white graphics and no sound.
Versions and Ports[edit]
- The version available in Template:SotA is itself a port of Richard Garriott's original code, written for the PDP 11 in 1977.
