TSR's lawyers insisted DND be renamed due to the similarity to D&D, so Bill Knight rewrote his famous DND port to make it an original game. The acronym remains "DND", the version number starts at 2.0, the copyright information still begins in 1984, so is it truly a new game? I can't comment on source changes, but all of the dungeons are new, the Extended ASCII character set is used to draw the walls with box drawing symbols instead of letters, and the game is generally enhanced. If you like DND, you should feel quite at home in this "sequel". There are three character types: fighter, magician, and cleric. Your character has attributes such as strength, intelligence, and agility, which can change throughout the game. The five dungeons are rendered in ASCII text, and form a 20×20×20 maze. You can pick up magical items, fight monsters, cast magic, and find treasure. Hit points and skill at casting magic increase as you gain experience points and level up. There are 5 dungeons in this game.
