As an intrepid hero, you goal is to descend as deep as you can into the dungeon to retrieve the genuine golden apple (there is a fake one in the game that will instantly kill you). You have four stats: strength, intelligence, hit points, and gold. There are 3 types of armor and several weapons you can wield. You could also use the "Zap" spell, as well as magic items. You will battle ghosts, trolls, slimes, dragons, and a few more monsters.
