Akalabeth: World of Doom is a early role-playing game, developed and published by Richard Garriott in 1979 for the Apple II. A port for MS-DOS was developed and released as part of Ultima Collection in 1998.
Story
In the land of Akalabeth, king Wolfgang had two sons. The younger one, Mondain, killed his older brother in order to get to the throne. He was discovered and disgraced. He hid into dungeons, where he kept plotting against the kingdom, and he developed great magical powers.
A champion of the kingdom, British, defeated Mondain (or was it the Stranger from the future in Ultima 1?). Since king Wolfgang had no more heirs to the throne, British became his successor.
After the defeat of Mondain, Lord British called upon several aspirant heroes to clean up the dungeons infested with the evil creations of Mondain.
Gameplay
Akalabeth is a dungeon-crawling game, that is a sub-genre of role-playing games where all the action takes place inside a dungeon.
