Kill all the monsters in the dungeon, but beware the deadly traps.
Back in 2014, Richard Garriott, the creator of the Ultima Series, posted a call for coders all around the globe to recreate one of his first games, and possibly one of the very first computer RPGs, into a modern accessible format; he posted a link to a 24 pages scanned version of his BASIC source code; thankfully, dejayc, one of the members of the SoTA community went thru several iterations and finally produced a flat text file which made things much easier.

Can it be downloaded from somewhere? It would be great to have it on my netbook overnight when working in the mountains. o7
I believe the itch.io client allows to play web games offline? in any case a downloadable would be good but no time for that right now :/
This is a great rendition of the game and good way to preserve history. I can't imagine how much paper would be wasted playing this IRL.
The mobile version's keyboard gets cut off on most narrow screen widths.
Thank you! I'll check about the mobile version
A fascinating piece of gaming history.
