 | | Tunnels of Doom (ToD) is therefore, to my knowledge, the original grandfather of adventure/roleplaying video games such as Pool of Radiance, Diablo and Neverwinter Nights, with it's concept of a party of adventurers battling orcs, imps and kobolds using a "top down" combat system. |
 | | However, it is also, in my opinion, the original grandfather of first person shooters such as Castle Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake, Half-Life, etc. since navigating between rooms and combats was done in a 3D manner moving through the "tunnels". |
 | | While there was no roleplaying, per se (it was complete hack and slash), and there was no first person combat, it helped inspire the two genres of games that I now generally play the most. |
