The battle mechanics, though odd, do not seem to take any inspiration, and side views such as the way dungeons are presented here are ancient - Donkey Kong was released in arcades in 1981, and isn't the first game (that would probably be the 1980 flop Space Panic) with that sort of view.Gnomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13920812227941556716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-42232658264029296782019-06-16T06:22:45.999-04:002019-06-16T06:22:45.999-04:00Lovely piece, Chet, and a nice piece of gaming his...Lovely piece, Chet, and a nice piece of gaming history.
