Dungeon Raid is a 1-player arcade game for multiple systems. The player tries to navigate a small character through a series of quickly scrolling dungeon chambers. The character can move laterally, speed up or slow down scrolling, and can fire vertically downwards. If the player touches a wall or monster, they lose a life. All monsters explode laterally when hit, and if the player touches this explosion, they also lose a life. Each room is timed, and if the player moves to slowly through a room, they lose a life. At the end of each room is a door, which must be shot to enter. If the player loses a life, they restart at the most recent door they passed. At the end of each dungeon level is a ghost which must be destroyed. There are 3 levels of difficulty. The player starts with 3 men, and an extra life is granted every 10,000 points.
