Advanced Dungeons & Dragons

Despite being the first video game to ever bear the Dungeons & Dragons license, this title is noticeably lacking in actual RPG elements.

Revisional Differences#

Original

Re-Release

Modern re-releases (such as Intellivision Lives!) rename the game to simply Adventure, its working title prior to the acquisition of the D&D license.

It should be noted that this is not a proper prototype of the game, as a quick view of the game's data in a hex editor confirms that the TSR copyright text is merely dummied out rather than missing entirely.
