Gameplay

Catacombs of Chaos was a turn-based game where each player is in command of a team of characters entering the catacombs of a dead wizard.[1]

Reception

W. G. Armintrout reviewed Catacombs of Chaos in The Space Gamer No. 57.[1] Armintrout commented that "Catacombs of Chaos is an ill-explained and confusing game. The worst problem lies with the lack of information given to the players about such basics as character design, magic, and combat."[1]

In the April 1983 edition of Dragon (Issue 72), Michael Gray found the game to be very similar to Heroic Fantasy by Flying Buffalo.[2]

gollark: ... how do you want them to protect them against things running with the same permissions on the same computer, exactly?
gollark: This seems dubious.
gollark: Don't you just need one very specifically sized gear?
gollark: Oh, do you mean fractions of the actual time zone divisions? Oh no.
gollark: Light-speed-uously.
