Beneath Apple Manor is a 1978 role-playing game developed by Don Worth and published by Quality Software.
Today Beneath Apple Manor is usually placed in the "roguelike" genre. It predates Rogue (created in 1980) by two years. The creator claims that neither he nor the creators of Rogue were aware of the other game.
The goal is to obtain a Golden Apple on the bottom floor of the dungeon. There are 10 rooms per level in the low-res version, and 5 in the high-res version. The high-res versions may be played in low-res/text mode, thereby gaining the larger levels. It is notable for being the first commercial role playing game developed and released for a home computer as opposed to a mainframe computer.
Beneath Apple Manor is abandonware and no longer sold or supported by its publishers. Files are archived here for these platforms:
