Just thought it was worth giving a few words to highlight and honor the original inspiration for Instant Dungeon!
A gem even in the rich Commodore 64 library, Castle Dungeon was written by Dave and Cosey Gardner and published for Commodore 64 and Vic 20 in the June 1984 issue of Compute's Gazette magazine.
You can read the issue here:

And you can watch a short video of the Vic 20 version here:

I spent many a youthful hour wandering the dark, monochrome halls of Castle Dungeon on my uncle's Commodore 64. Although, it's definitely it's own game, I'd like to think of Instant Dungeon! as my tribute to those hours.
Some words to highlight and honor the game that inspired Instant Dungeon!
