Do you have the scans for Hellfire Warrior available somewhere? I have a copy of the game for TRS80 and a machine to play on, but no manual.

And for the record, the DQ expansions were either based off of Temple of Asphai or Hellfire Warrior, needing one or the other to play. I don't remember which expansions were based off of which games thou.

Here are all the PDF manuals you'll need, I collected or scanned these over the last couple of months - complete with room descriptions! :

http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=fb44 ... 0c31fd84d5

Hellfire Warrior complete docs are in there, scanned in from an e-bay purchase. I should have every Dunjonquest, though a couple of the PDF scans are incomplete for rare games like Sorcerer of Siva.

Personally (unless you are a TRS-80 fan) I recommend the more colorful and graphically pleasing Atari 800 version - you can find an emulator like Atari800Win (or similarly named) that will play it, and get the file from here: http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-40 ... _2430.html

Here is how the series went:

* Dunjonquest: The Datestones of Ryn (1979)
* Dunjonquest: Morloc's Tower (1979)
* Dunjonquest: Sorcerer of Siva
* Dunjonquest: Temple of Apshai (1979)
* Dunjonquest: Upper Reaches of Apshai (1981) (add-on/expansion to Temple of Apshai)
* Dunjonquest: Curse of Ra (1982) (add-on/expansion to Temple of Apshai)
* Dunjonquest: Hellfire Warrior
* Dunjonquest: Danger in Drindisti (add-on/expansion for Hellfire Warrior)
* Dunjonquest: The Keys of Acheron (add-on/expansion for Hellfire Warrior)
* Temple of Apshai Trilogy (1985) (re-release including expansions with improved graphics and sound)

See more at the Wiki I authored here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunjonquest_%28series%29

(BTW I'd be grateful if someone could review the article so it loses the "new / unreviewed" status)

Here are some MAPS of the levels that a fellow blogger is working on:

I would be happy to review the article, but I am not sure how to do that through wiki. Is there a review button?

Thanks for the link and nice Wiki page.

Seriously, I think it looks like a girls computer. (Pace, Golan).
