Now that is interesting, Bill. After reading the game's manual, I assumed that the game came with some sort of level editor to let users create their own dungeons, but I noticed that it wasn't released until 1983 by some company named Asgard Software. Apparently the editor was written by a Chicago police officer named John Behnke, and other folks made tidy profits selling their levels at TI-99 conventions.

I was able to dig up a little more info about the game here. With randomly generated dungeons, you'd get some great replay value out of it (somewhat like Rogue or Sword of Fargoal).
