DND

DND

Loosely based on TSR's Dungeons and Dragons pen-and-paper RPG, DND borrowed from D&D many of the things that later became staples of video games, such as player statistics, items, bosses, and leveling up.

Overview

The game dnd was developed by Gary Whisenhunt and Ray Wood and is loosely based on TSR's Dungeons and Dragons pen-and-paper RPG. It was developed from 1974-1975 and released to the academic community in the year 1975. Dirk Pellet and Flint Pellet were responsible for substantial enhancements and iterations from 1976-1985.
