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.

“Oh, my. I’d forgotten how much I hate space travel.”
—George Lucas (b. 1944)
“I am apt to think, if we knew what it was to be an angel for one hour, we should return to this world, though it were to sit on the brightest throne in it, with vastly more loathing and reluctance than we would now descend into a loathsome dungeon or sepulchre.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
