[Coco] Dungeons of Daggorath - PC Port

[mike delyea]

In my opinion, Dungeons of Dagorath is the best game ever made for the
coco.  It was the first game I literally spent hours trying to solve.
Beating the fake wizard was both exciting and terrifying - being tosssed
blind into an even tougher level.  My poor keyboard "A space R, A space R,
A space R, MMMM, TA"  repeat as necessary.  Ahhhh good times.
