The Book of Atari Software · 1984 · Rating: B+

Although Morloc's Tower is not as elaborate as the Temple of Apshai, Automated Simulations has provided yet another entertaining and challenging adventure game. The object of the game is to find and kill the mad wizard, Morloc. One spends his time wandering through the six floor dungeons, battling monsters and finding treasures.
A plus to this game is that every time you play this adventure, the traps, monsters and other surprises are found in different locations. In addition, you can compete against your friends or your own past performance. The game is appropriate for beginners as well as advanced players since there is no "right" way to win.
Documentation is excellent. The authors provide a very attractive layout with clear and concise instructions including helpful hints. As a last resort, the player may wish to read some of the "answers" which disclose where Morloc may possibly be found.

This ATR image of "Morloc's Tower" doesn't work properly. This was discussed in a thread in a September 2015 thread on AtariAge. I'm not sure if I can post links here, but I'll try it: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/243239-dunjonquest-morlocs-tower/ I've searched around the Internet and found other versions of ATRs for this game, but all of them are byte-for-byte identical to the one here on AtariAge. The games APPEARS to work, but when you try to move about the dungeon, it acts all messed-up. For full details, read the above thread. Does anyone have a working copy Morloc's Tower?
