The first two games were "Bushido" and "Aftermath!". All three games feature similar game mechanics, but those of "Daredevils" are simpler than those of "Aftermath!" "Daredevils" was not popular. In his book "Designers & Dragons", Appelcline said, "It was probably still too awkward and it was only supported with four supplements."

Telengard Telengard is a 1982 role-playing dungeon crawler video game developed by Daniel Lawrence and published by Avalon Hill. The player explores a dungeon, fights monsters with magic, and avoids traps in real time without any set mission other than surviving. Lawrence first wrote the game as "DND", a 1976 version of "Dungeons & Dragons" for the DECsystem-10 mainframe computer. He continued to develop "DND" at Purdue University as a hobby, rewrote the game for the Commodore PET 2001 after 1978, and ported it to Apple II+, TRS-80, and Atari 800 platforms before Avalon Hill found the game at a convention and licensed it for distribution. Its Commodore 64 release was the most popular. Reviewers noted "Telengard"'s similarity to "Dungeons and Dragons". RPG historian Shannon Appelcline noted the game as one of the first professionally produced computer role-playing games, and "Gamasutra"'s Barton considered "Telengard" consequential in what he deemed "The Silver Age" of computer role-playing games preceding the golden age of the late 1980s. Some of the game's dungeon features, such as altars, fountains, teleportation cubes, and thrones, were adopted by later games such as "Tunnels of Doom".

Marsport Marsport is a science fiction computer game that was released for the ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC home computers in 1985. It was published by Gargoyle Games in the United Kingdom and Dro Soft in Spain. "Marsport" was intended to be the first part of a trilogy called "The Siege of Earth" but parts two and three ("Fornax" and "Gath") were not forthcoming. Because of this, it is often regarded as being part of an unofficial trilogy alongside "Tir Na Nog" and "Dun Darach" (both of which are part of the same official series) due to its having very similar gameplay to these titles. "Marsport" also has similarities to the later Gargoyle game, "Heavy on the Magick".

Campaign setting A campaign setting is usually a fictional world which serves as a setting for a role-playing game or wargame campaign. A "campaign" is a series of individual adventures, and a "campaign setting" is the world in which such adventures and campaigns take place. Usually a campaign setting is designed for a specific game (such as the "Forgotten Realms" setting for "Dungeons & Dragons") or a specific genre of game (such as Medieval fantasy, or outer space/science fiction adventure). There are numerous campaign settings available both in print and online. In addition to published campaign settings available for purchase, many game masters create their own settings, often referred to as "homebrew" settings or worlds.
