Neverending Dungeon

The preliminary cave went on and on and on. My goodness, this thing was huge. There were levels with good fairies and nasty fairies, levels with people turned into zombies by an evil train, and levels with clueless dwarves who had lost all their stuff. 
And yes, you read that right: there was a level with an evil train that turned villagers into zombies. Now that’s something you don’t run into every day. It was as if the level designers did acid and got to work. I thought I would never get out.
But finally, we conquered the final boss of the preliminary cave on level 40 and received…a cheap sword? What? Tricky Final Fantasy, playing jokes on us! After we killed the final boss we got a cheap sword, sure enough, but when you transport off the level, you arrive at another level with a treasure chest. This treasure chest had the Ultima Sword, which is nearly twice as powerful as Excalibur. Woot! Time to head off to the final battle!
Actually, though, for a 40-level dungeon, it was quite fun. There were a variety of levels, none of the levels was painfully big, and the combat wasn’t so prevalent as to get in the way of exploring. All in all, fun.
