Dungeon Crawler : Hell's Halls

From the software packaging:

A Perilous Quest
In search of gold and glory, you travel to a dungeon.
It's said incredible wealth hides within the crypts
men call Hell's Hall.

But evil touches all who enter.

Hell's Halls

The Dungeon Awaits

A TI BASIC dungeon adventure for the TI-99/4 and
TI-99/4A home computers. Explore a dangerous
catacomb, collect treasure, and find its evil master.

I found a newer dungeon crawler called Hell's Halls that was released in 2022 by PixelPedant.  The game is only released for the TI-99/4A and for TI-BASIC (standard).  The game cost $10 for the full digital version or free for the first half of the game.



The way the game was created was quite creative, putting as much punch out of the system that a base unmodified TI-99 with only BASIC can muster.

This adventure type game is full of rewards, traps, and obstacles - all making your points go up and down as you play.  Each level/Floor is identified by a color, starting with white stone blocks.  There are four levels/floors and you race against the clock to get to the final exit before time runs out and you're trapped there forever.

 The game is mostly about efficiency and survival and the dungeon master makes sure you know time is your enemy.

The floors are randomized every game, so no two games are the same.
