Description: Advertised in the very first Mattel software catalog, Advanced D&D was something of a late-comer compared to other titles listed in the same catalog. The final product was only loosely based on what was initially advertised.
Landmark: The first Intellivision title to exceed the 4K ROM barrier (itβs 6K).
Easter eggs: On the right controller, press and hold button β0β, either upper side-button, and disc position 7 (just above left). Then press RESET. You start the game with both crown pieces, and win automatically!

Santulli Slant: Once again proof that video games imitate life. Look at all of the things that happen in this game that occur every day in our daily lives: Looking around for a goddamn ladder. Running away from the freaky dude with the weird hair. Stepping in animal droppings. Turning on the light and finding a rat at the most inopportune moments. Running out of ammunition. And I could go on, but many of you may not relate to things like losing the broken pieces of a holy chalice β that happens to me at least once a month. And the game itself: pure fun. Lots of suspense and surprises at every turn. Play it loud for a real experience! [Gr: 4, So: 8, Ga: 9, Ov: 9]
