The DUNGEONS & DRAGONS game is now at your local arcade. Chainmail and shield strongly advised.

If you think you've seen every dank and dangerous corner a Dungeon Master can imagine, you haven't even scratched the scaly surface of the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Tower of Doom. The most popular role-playing game in the world is now a sword-swinging, fireball-tossing, spell-casting video game. Eight malevolent levels. Scores of chilling passageways filled with unexpected twists and turns. And more nightmarish minions than you'll have time to stop and count. Drop into your local arcade today. And descend into the monstrous realm beneath the Tower of Doom.

----------------------------

SSI's logo can also be seen in this ad. At the time, SSI had a license with TSR (the makers of the D&D tabletop RPG) to create video games based on their IPs and Capcom likely worked with them to make sure all of the Is were dotted and Ts were crossed. TSR's 90s era logo can also be seen in the upper right!

As the arcade game would greet players, "Welcome to the D&D world!".

It's 1994 and an ad for the Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom suggests readers break out their chainmail and shield while visiting their local arcade!

Capcom's adaptation of the "most popular role-playing game in the world" combined four-player beat 'em up action with light RPG aesthetics.

if you don’t know this song, I recommend it with the caveat that listening to this album daily circa ‘90 took me to some very dark places in my head, and then i started the mountain goats

I like this card because i like tax decks; I don’t have any opinions about digital-only cards except for Heist, which I dislike because it slows play so much

I lived across from the coliseum in Portland in the 80s and now I live in NC. The Trail Blazers are very slowly following me around

It’s not that they’re wrong on some details — it’s that they have no vision at all

this is my era of hulk and really the only hulk that interests me. when they take his speech away in the 80s it sucks and they never really get him right again
