On the Inty front - Tower of Doom is probably the best of the lot - though
it's tougher to find. It's got an inventory system, auto-mapping of the
dungeons, a half-dozen or so character classes with attributes (strength,
charasima, constitution, etc.), multi-level dungeouns, magic items - pretty
cool! The AD&D Treasure of Tarmin game is more of a turn-based combat
system, and is NOT action oriented, though it has 3d mazes and a pretty rich
set of monsters and magic items. But far and away, Tower of Doom is the best
Inty 'Adventure'-type game.
