A 30-day pass to The Arcade — a cabinet of playable titles. You buy access to the collection, not the games themselves.
About this cabinet In the cabinet
Steve Moraff shipped this in 1988 as Moraffware shareware: a fighter or a wizard, a town on the surface, and about seventy levels of loud CGA/EGA dungeon underneath. BEGIN.EXE is the front desk — create a character, visit shops and the inn, then climb down. The main view is a filling map plus four tiny first-person panels (ahead, left, right, behind). It is not Wolf3D. You step north, south, east, or west.
The unregistered disk is the one people actually passed around. Go down, get rich, get out, and do not trust a corridor just because it is magenta.
How to play

| On-screen list | Fight, cast, and the rest of the commands sit in the panel — match those letters. |

| BEGIN.EXE | Town and character desk. The dungeon is everything after. |
