    I remember this game even though I never played it for one reason:
    When this game launched on Steam it promoted the following “interesting feature” in the marketing blurb which stated that the original release of the game featured the soundtrack. Which was a big deal for a CD game from the ‘90s. And of course they carried over this tradition by including it in the game files along with a set of instructions that ended in “... you can then burn the soundtrack onto your CD drive.
    Yep, they ported a 15-year-old game onto Steam with the most interesting feature being, “You can burn the soundtrack onto an audio CD onto a CD drive that you don’t have anymore from a digital game.”

    DnD guy here, the pincer monsters are very similar to "Gas Spores" that have been in the monster manual as early as 1st edition. They're mostly harmless, but they can serve as a trap to players because they can look like Beholders in dim light/darkness. They never had pincers AFAIK, they're more of a fungus monster, but the explosive death causing chain reactions is there. In DnD when they explode the poisonous spores they release will kill your character in a number of hours unless you cure the disease, after which the player's body will start releasing more spores. They were an interesting mix of puzzle and combat when my players first encountered one.

    The game Desktop Dungeons entire premise is basically what you described Ross with needing to balance fighting enemies for exp. while also needing to maintain health. It’s not a full RPG, it’s more like if minesweeper and a dungeon crawler had a child, so the game is working your way through mini dungeons in a puzzle-ish fashion. The goal of each dungeon is to level up enough to beat one boss enemy at the end. Exploration is pretty interesting as well, because unexplored tiles are a resource you also have to manage; exploring a tile gives you back health and mana (unless you’re poisoned or mana-burnt respectively). So you need some tiles to explore at the end to avoid screwing yourself by not being able to heal, but you also need to explore to find gold, stat buffs, and enemies that are weak enough for you to take down.

You've only got like, 5% chance of recognizing they're just giant bags full of gas and spores rather than a Beholder, and if they take even 1 HP of damage, they blow up and turn *you* into another Gas Spore.

    12:48 - Pathfinder 2nd Edition had a playtest adventure that was basically designed to test the limitations of how long characters could last without any kind of resupplying or resting. It's thereotically possible to win, but you need to get extremely lucky on top of min-maxing your characters to the extreme. I think my favorite part is that the adventure says to never tell the players that the adventure is basically impossible to complete. It's called Heroes of Undarin. You can find it in the free Pathfinder 2nd Edition Playtest Bundle online. It's in the .pdf named Doomsday Dawn. I think this particular game has an excuse though, since it was testing the game's limitations so it could make more informed decisions regarding balance in the future.

      I think I've spent no small portion of my entire time on youtube watching Ross's videos. I don't know how or why but the rewatch value of game dungeon and freeman's mind are outstanding.

    Gas spores are old 1st edition monsters that look vaguely like beholders and expel a poisonous gas when cut. I think that's pretty close to what you encounter in the game.

    A full rewatch of all the Game Dungeons is rapidly becoming my Halloween season tradition

    Nothing quite makes my meaningless existence worthwhile like hearing your voice Ross, glad you could make my Halloween a bit less dreary this year, haven't even seen the video yet but you never let me down, keep up the amazing work.

    Finally. More Ross in my diet. I was beginning to think I was going to have to resort to feasting on a smorgasbord of the remains of old videos, Civvie 11, and Nitro Rad in order fill my hunger.
    But you came through with some hot fresh content, and boy is it good!

    I really needed this. Been having a rough couple of days, and I see 'Ross's Game Dungeon' appear. I always know for the duration of these videos, things are going to be cozy and alright. I haven't watched it yet, but I already know I'm going to feel better. Thanks, Mr. Accursed Farms!

    Ahh the perfect Ross Scot game. I don't know how you do it time and time again but you never cease to impress me. I just hope that all the pain is worth it because your videos are epic! Thanks a billion Ross!

    I love the atmosphere on this one, and having one screen at a time with an isometric orientation gives a neat oldschool, too; reminds me a little of Knight Lore: Majou no Ookami Otoko for the Famicom Disk System.

    Man.
    No matter how shit my day is, when I see Ross put out a new video I am immediately excited and in a better mood. Thank you for all your work over the years (I've been following you since around 2009 and have loved everything you have done)

    I suspect that the reason why the treasure chest required multiple attempts is because there's a lockpicking stat, and the dwarf's is pretty low.
