One of the best (and best-selling) games that Radio Shack ever sold for the CoCo. Hugely innovative for its time (The Guinness Book of World Records 2010, Gamer's Edition, credits it as the First Action RPG), Dungeons of Daggorath was a real-time dungeon romp, with 5 levels, and sound effects far beyond any other such game of its day.
