DND is a game written by Daniel Lawrence in BASIC for the TOPS10 but was quickly ported to RSTS BASIC Plus midway through development. It was adapted by Lawrence into Telengard in 1982 and ported to DOS in 1984 by R. O. Software. This DOS port was later reworked into Dungeons of the Necromancer's Domainin 1988, by R. O. Software themselves.
While some can consider DND (and variants) a Roguelike, it predates, and hence cannot have been inspired by, Rogue. The program does appear to introduce itself with the text "Welcome to Dungeons and Dragons!"
The original DND appeared to have three classes: Fighter, Cleric, and Magic User.
The game is often confused with, or misidentified as a port of, Gary Whisenhunt and Ray Wood's similar 1974 game "dnd" for the PLATO system.
