Dungeon Hack

Dungeon Hack is a computer game released in 1993. It was developed by DreamForge Intertainment and published by Strategic Simulations, Inc. for MS-DOS and NEC PC-9801.
==Plot==
An adventurer is sent by an evil sorceress on a mission to find and retrieve a mysterious magical orb located within an ancient dungeon.
==Gameplay==
Dungeon Hack is one of the earliest graphical roguelikes, even though it is action-based instead of turn-based and permanent death ("permadeath") is optional. Dungeon Hack uses the rules mechanics of AD&D 2nd Edition. 
Strategic Simulations, Inc. claimed that "over 4 billion" different dungeons were possible. Since dungeons are randomly generated whenever a new game is started, virtually no two dungeons generated by the game are identical. Players can play identical dungeons by sharing "dungeon seed" codes that are generated by the game.
The game re-uses the engine of Eye of the Beholder III: Assault on Myth Drannor (EB1 and EB2 used a different engine). This consists of a pseudo-3D game screen based on the Dungeon Master series: real-time action and tile-based movement. 
Dungeon Hack is the first Forgotten Realms video game to implement seven different classes, instead of the traditional six. The new class is the Bard.
