Ben Collver<p>This is Diabaig, a roguelike game, built for DOS using OpenWatcom and pdcurses. It requires a 32-bit CPU and 4 MB memory to run.</p><p>Diabaig home page<br>&lt;<a href="https://conornally.itch.io/diabaig" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">conornally.itch.io/diabaig</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>&gt;</p><p>Back when tigers used to smoke, the Great Halls of Diabaig were home to a thriving civilisation. However, few records survived the ensuing fires when a dragon moved in. Descend to the depths of Diabaig, carefully navigate the twisting corridors and dangerous creatures and return with a tooth from the dragon's jaws.</p><p>Diabaig is a traditional turn-based ASCII roguelike where you are never more than a few mistakes away from death. Choose a starting class, find powerful items, and learn new spells and techniques to face increasingly dangerous adversity. You will discover many floors with rooms filled with unique creatures, magic scrolls, unknown potions and mighty weapons. Use everything at your disposal to survive as long as possible and defeat the dragon, but remember to keep enough spare for the return journey.</p><p><a href="https://archive.org/details/diabaig-1.0.0-for-dos" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">archive.org/details/diabaig-1.</span><span class="invisible">0.0-for-dos</span></a></p><p><a href="gopher://tilde.pink/1/~bencollver/files/dos386/game/diabaig/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible"></span><span class="ellipsis">gopher://tilde.pink/1/~bencoll</span><span class="invisible">ver/files/dos386/game/diabaig/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/dos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dos</span></a> <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/roguelike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>roguelike</span></a></p>

Cyningstan<p>Arrows in The <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ChambersBeneath" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChambersBeneath</span></a> are ammunition for the shortbow and the longbow. When a shortbow or longbow is equipped in one hand, arrows need to be equipped in the other.
