Developed in 1982 by Romox, Fortune Hunter is loosely based on Venture in that you wander through a zoomed out floor plan in order to enter a zoomed in view of rooms and collect their treasure. Fortune Hunter features no Hallmonsters, and a single floor plan containing six rooms. The player will die if he touches any of the walls inside the room. The player can only fire in six directions, up and down are not available. Some enemies can fire back, and they disappear the moment they are killed. The rooms are given names similar to Venture's and the player is immediately warped out of the room when you collect a treasure. You will die instantly if you spend too long in one room. | Developed in 1982 by Romox, Fortune Hunter is loosely based on Venture in that you wander through a zoomed out floor plan in order to enter a zoomed in view of rooms and collect their treasure.

Venturer was developed by Dave Edson in 1982. It contains many of the aspects found in the original arcade game. Instead of a Hallmonster coming to attack you if you spend too long in a room, lines drop from the top of the screen to cut you off from the exit and kill you. | Venturer was developed by Dave Edson in 1982.
