TRASH-80 ROGUE
In the late 1970's Radio Shack released one of the first affordable home computers called the TRS-80, or, as many people affectionately called it, the "Trash-80".
This game posits: What if there had been a superhero roguelike for the TRS-80?
Use the arrow keys and space bar, Escape, and Return to create your superhero and infiltrate the fortresses of the evil supervillain Doctor Death. Can you defeat him before he becomes invincible?

Nice, thanks for playing. Good idea about a way to have a persistent map or a way to extract that doesn't require going back to the extraction point. That wasn't in the cards for the 7DRL – I ended up not having anywhere near the whole week to work on it - but maybe if I expand the game later, I can add some features that lead in that direction.
In the mean time, you can use the coordinate tracker in the upper left corner to keep track of where you are on the map, allowing you to make notes of important areas like the extraction point, portcullis locations, energizer platforms, etc.
Interesting premise and design choice. It's fun to play and it would feel right at home as an app on my phone when I felt like killing 10 or 20 minutes.
I love this idea and it's fun!
Sadly, it looks like it froze during my first fight with something other than a goon. In case you get time to check on it, I'll give as much info as I can:
Tab, ESC, H, P, Space, arrow keys, etc. didn't appear to work at this point. I tried clicking in the game again, switching tabs/windows, and I had only activated the Fire Fists at that point, and I didn't see any animations for the ability either, though I'm not sure how relevant that might be to the game's freeze.
It may have something to do with the (Burning) Abomination, as I managed to get it to freeze again later with similar circumstances, though this time I backed off and used Ice Fists after my Fire Fists ran out:
I was using Firefox on Win10.
PS - I'm glad that I can just pick up with my character where I left off after reloading the page!
Awesome thanks for the bug report. I’ll try to look into it. Thanks for taking the time to let me know!
I've posted an updated version of the game that contains a fix for this issue. Thanks for submitting it!
Terrific work! I genuinely don’t think enough game devs utilize superheroes enough
It’s a tough genre because by definition they are all about rule breaking. It’s tough to balance and code!
Awesome! Great work! Super fun!
Glad you like it. Thanks for playing!
