Computer games using OD&D rules?
« Thread Started on Sept 1, 2010, 3:27am »

I'm curious: what are the most old school D&D rules you know of in a Roguelike or other computer game? Are there any that use White Box, or Swords & Wizardry?

The Roguelikes are all I know of. I would be interested in a game like this though.

NetHack, but technically, as open-ended as OD&D is, pretty much any computer RPG would fall under that broad an umbrella! The Elder Scrolls are my favorites

Warriors of the Eternal Sun (for Sega Genesis) uses BX rules, and there are dozens of AD&D games, but I don't know any OD&D games.

I had the idea a while ago for an online game using Swords & Wizardry or related rules.

Some of the early roguelikes probably used D&D in one form or another.

I suspect Wizardry and the early Ultimas (including Akalabeth) used an early permutation of D&D.
