Like Robotron: 2084 (1982) and Smash TV (1990), the uncoventional controls for Space Dungeon are a pair of 8-directional joysticks (one for moving, one for shooting) rather than the more typical single joystick and fire button. This mechanism allows plays to shoot in directions other than that in which they are moving. The game also featured an automap to keep track of the player's movement from screen to screen.

Famous quotes containing the words space and/or dungeon:
“I would have broke mine eye-strings, cracked them, but
To look upon him, till the diminution
Of space had pointed him sharp as my needle;
Nay, followed him till he had melted from
The smallness of a gnat to air, and then
Have turned mine eye and wept.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We are all serving a life-sentence in the dungeon of self.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
