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.
