Dungeon Explorer – TurboGrafx-16 Game & Box & Manual – VG+

Dungeon Explorer is a top-down action-RPG where up to five players battle through monster-filled dungeons to recover the Orb of God and save the kingdom of Oddesia. Often compared to Gauntlet, the game mixes frantic multiplayer action with RPG progression—featuring 12 playable classes, each with unique stats, magic, and special abilities. Classes include the Fighter, Thief, Elf, Bishop, Witch, Ninja, and more, creating a surprising amount of strategic depth for a 1989 launch title.

Gameplay emphasizes constant enemy waves, tight corridors, and large boss encounters. As you progress, you’ll earn stat-boosting items, learn magic spells, and collaborate with teammates to survive increasingly brutal labyrinths. The five-player support via TurboTap makes Dungeon Explorer one of the most important and iconic party RPGs on the TurboGrafx-16, cementing its place as a foundational title in the system’s library.
