No D&D, no Zork. No Zork, no text-based games. No Infocom. No HGTTG, Leather Goddesses of Phobos.  Fantasy video games in general. No Gauntlet. No Golden Axe. No Sierra Games because no Quest For Glory or King's Quest. No Zelda (which was a dungeon delver at its heart)And then the impact on FPS games in general. The earliest FPS was an AD&D game for the Intellivision. That's right... there were FPS games in 1982. Those games were the spiritual ancestor of The Elder Scrolls.The impact on video games in general would be immeasurable. For as long as there has been D&D, there have been D&D video games. This isn't hyperbole. D&D was released in 1974. In 1975, there was already a video game based on it called dnd, one of the first games to have boss monsters. 2 years later was DND (now in BASIC). From there, you have Rogue/Hack/NetHack.</blockquote>
