Space Dungeon

Space Dungeon is a shoot 'em up arcade game created by Taito Corporation in 1981. It was designed and programmed by Rex Battenberg. It was released both as a conversion kit and as a full arcade cabinet. The only home version of the game was released in 1983 for the Atari 5200 game system.

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:

    The secret ones around a stone
    Their lips withdrawn in meet surprise
    Lie still, being naught but bone
    With naught but space within their eyes....

    The brook was thrown
    Deep in a sewer dungeon under stone
    In fetid darkness still to live and run....
