  1. Game 2 in our 9-game, 100th episode special in late July will look at pedit5, aka The Dungeon from the PLATO system in 1975!

    The first ever computer RPG game translating D&D mechanics to the digital world, it also introduced random encounters in its fixed environs.

    A direct inspiration for 1980's Rogue, the comforting orange glow was a foundational pillar for the late 70s gaming ecosystem.
