Dunjunz

Dunjunz is an action game made for the BBC Micro and Acorn Electron home computers and released by Bug-Byte in 1987.

It is essentially a clone of the popular video game Gauntlet where players controlled fantasy characters from a top down view.

Up to four players are able to play simultaneously, sharing the keyboard to control their characters (ranger, wizard, barbarian, and female warrior).

However, only the ranger and wizard are able to cast a spell to destroy all enemies on screen, and the per-use cost of this in health is fixed throughout the game.

On the Acorn Electron, a screen mode with a reduced colour palette was used, enabling the game to run as quickly as the BBC Micro version.
