The Book of Atari Software · 1984 · Rating: C+
Datestones of Ryn is the second of the Dunjonquest series of fantasy games. This is the first of their "mini-adventures", since the character is defined and a time limit of twenty minutes is imposed. One spends time exploring a building filled with monsters and thieves that try to stop you from recovering the missing ten datestones. As in the others of the series, the positions of all objects and monsters are randomized in a set-piece map which appears in sections as one explores. Fighting sequences are animated with shape tables.
