Actual PC version of C64 Dungeon?

Has anyone come across a native (non emulated) version of this game for the PC? Long ago when I played this game I did research including trying to find the author, but came up empty. What I did find was info that the C64 version was not the only version. The author planned to release or perhaps did release a version for PC compatible computers. I was never able to find much info on it, but hopefully the release of the game on itch.io might garner some new information from others.

Aah! It would be great to hear about that!

What information did you uncover? Is it online somewhere? It'd be nice to see, maybe I could dig something up? In particular I'm interested in the "IFC Systems" that presumably published this before LOADSTAR.

I'd have to look but if I recall (it was over a decade ago I looked into it) I believe I found the info about a PC version from searching the web. It wasn't from the LOADSTAR CD that Fender was selling. I'll try to see if I can find the bit of info that mentioned the PC version. I'll post a link here if I rediscover it.

I found this info during a quick search. The good part here is that we have the name of a co-author. Perhaps he can be tracked down.

Ah, that co-author listed is Jon Mattson. I don't think he was a co-creator, he made two of the adventures LOADSTAR published for Dungeon. He was a prolific LOADSTAR contributor and made several other programs for it, including one game system of his own. But Dungeon predates his time with LOADSTAR, I think.

I'd love to find Jon Mattson too, he made several nice games for LOADSTAR, but we don't know what happened to most contributors. Jon Mattson, Ian Adams, Barbara Schulak, J.C. Hilty, and now, David Caruso II.
