A short but clever Sega dungeon-crawler with random generation and turn-based combat. A pleasant retro curio, though quite minimal in content.

Fatal Labyrinth (Mega Drive) price, value & rarity
A roguelike from Sega, Fatal Labyrinth sends the hero up a tower of randomly generated dungeons, where each floor, item and monster is a risk. Inventory management, item identification and permanent death create a tension proper to the genre, still rare on console at the time. The austere production and the slow pace will put off hurried players. For a fan of retro roguelikes or someone curious about Sega's experiments, the title keeps a very real niche interest.
