173. Mattel Electronics -  Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Cloudy Mountain (1982)

The first AD&D console game, Cloudy Mountain tries, somewhat successfully, to capture the spirit of D&D. In this game for the Mattel console Intellivision you play as three adventurers, which are all basically the same guy, it just counts as three lives, as you attempt to win the Crown of Kings from the Cloudy Mountain.

You star off outside a mountain range, armed with three arrows and a bow and you have to enter increasingly more difficult mountain dungeons to get an axe which allows you to move through the forest, a boat that allows you to cross the river and a key that allows you to open the gate to the cloudy mountain in which dungeon you can finally retrieve the two pieces of the Crown and win the game. As you go along you also get quivers which give you more arrows to fight monsters with. 

Rudimentary by today's standards, the game does capture the idea of plot advancement and dungeon crawling, with its randomized maps that are only revealed through exploration that were common to many of the simplest D&D adventures. With some neat sound design and streamlined controls this is a pretty fun game. You can find someone on YouTube (Winslinator) finishing it to 100% completion in under 2 minutes... try doing that with Baldur's Gate III!
