Dungeon Robber

If you're stuck at home in the quarantine and looking for something to do, one of my players found this.
From the website:
"The very first single-player dungeoncrawl game was not a video game. It was a series of charts printed in the first edition of Dungeons and Dragons, back in 1979. By rolling dice according to the instructions, you could generate a dungeon which was illogical, arbitrary, super-lethal, and which often didn't even produce usable results.
THIS GAME USES THOSE CHARTS.
In this cruel dungeoncrawl game, you're a hapless explorer trying to survive the infinite twists, turns, traps, treasures, and terrors programmed by D&D designed Gary Gygax 35 years ago. I've tweaked the original D&D rules for the purposes of the game, but faithfully preserved every bizarre or banal detail of the original dungeon-creation charts."
So far I've tried it twice. First character didn't even make it to the second level of the dungeon, died to a skeleton. Second character made it to the second level and is still alive so far.
Anyway, enjoy.
