Smiley Face plays Dungeons & Dragons.

Graphics: 2 Sound: 2 Replay Value: 2 Notes: 1- or 2-player game. Does not work on Intellivision II. Screen Shots

Venture is playable, but then the original game wasn't very sophisticated, either. Not an offensive game, but it does nothing to stand out as a particularly good game, either. Winky is faithfully rendered, but has an invisible bow. The Hall Monsters have been reduced to nearly featureless squares. This version has three levels - I'm not sure how many levels there are in the arcade game, and therefore how many treasures there are.

A total of six Venture box variants have been documented.
