Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Treasure of Tarmin

About

Treasure of Tarmin drops you into a labyrinthine dungeon where each floor is a maze of rooms and corridors. You play as a lone adventurer tasked with defeating the Minotaur blocking the legendary treasure. Movement is turn-based, requiring you to navigate traps, collect weapons, and manage limited resources. Combat relies on dice rolls and character stats, with each encounter chipping away at your health. Success means reaching the final chamber and besting the boss in a timed showdown. Community feedback is mixed, with a 6.0/10 rating from retro enthusiasts who appreciate the straightforward dungeon-crawling. Released in 1983 for Intellivision, it’s a product of its time, simple mechanics and minimal text, but also short playtime (average 2.9 hours) and repetitive enemy encounters. Still, it captures early RPG charm for players nostalgic for old-school D&D adaptations. The challenge lies in balancing risk and resource management, though modern standards might find the pace slow.

Storyline

You've found the secret map to the underground lair of the dreaded Minotaur. You can go in, but you'll never come out unless you slay the Minotaur and claim his Tarmin treasure. As you make your way through the hallways and chambers, monsters wield their conventional or spiritual weapons. You must gather the proper defenses along the way. But use them sparingly, the Minotaur looms closer!
