Dungeon Trilogy Dungeon Master's Gallery Asmodeus Deep December

About Deep December...
      Almost a year ago I began the Dungeon Trilogy with the release of Dungeon Master's Gallery.  Now I am happy to complete it with a completely original game.  Deep December is an urban dungeon crawl, and a game I've been wanting to create for ages.  So here it is, Deep December.
      What would be the modern equivalent of the typical fantasy dungeon crawl?  Instead of a sword, heroes weild baseball bats and pistols.  Torches are replaced by flashlights.  Goblins and trolls are now man-eating roaches and eeevil toilet demons.  I hope you enjoy this anniversary game, a present-day urban dungeon-exploring game.  I've really fallen off the deep end now.

Playing the Game
      December is played in a traditional ZZT manner.  Use the arrow keys to travel, and move into an object to interact with it (when possible).
The Bat   
      Simply move into enemies to attack them with your baseball bat.
Bullets   
      Bullets can be found in the dungeon, but to use them you must first find a gun.  Bullets can, naturally, be fired by holding shift and pressing an arrow key.
Flashlight   
      Your flashlight is the only way to see in the dark dungeon.  Press T to use it, and you may repeat until you run out of torches.  You can recharge to 5 torches an infinite amount of times at a recharge station, or once when you find replacement batteries.
Exploring the Dungeon
      The dungeon is filled with useful items as well as enemies, many who have rallied under a common leader.  You will need to defeat these enemies to continue deeper into the dungeon.
The Dungeon   
      This dungeon is built into a New York subway system, and is filled with urinals, Coca-cola (tm) dispensors, TV dinners, and other helpful items.  It is also filled with enemies such as urban zombies, mutant rats, and toilet demons.  The levels get progressively smaller as they get lower.

Good luck, foolish adventurer.
