Originally a BASIC listing for the Commodore PET printed in the April 1982 edition of "Computing Today", "The Valley" was ported to a wide range of systems.
It is a simple rogue-like where you play one out of five character types in your quest to find the Helm of Evanna so you can do battle with the evil wizard Vounim.
This remake for Microsoft Windows is based on the ZX Spectrum version and features improved graphics as well as added sound and music.
The remake has a new 'Hall of Fame' feature sorted by the fastest game completion.
There's also an added final level and ending to the game!
It was coded in FreeBASIC: http://www.freebasic.net/
NOTE: If you send a copy of hall.dat to vounim@gmail.com along with a screen alias you want to be known as, I will keep an online Hall of Fame on here with all the results I get (if any).
Good luck!

Excellent remake, played on a CBM64 early 80's, I typed in the whole game and was hooked on crpg's ever since. Thanks!
