Space Dungeon is a multidirectional shooter developed and released as an arcade video game by Taito in 1982. Designed and programmed by Rex Battenberg, it was available both as a conversion kit and full arcade cabinet. Like Robotron: 2084 from earlier in 1982, Space Dungeon is a twin-stick shooter with a pair of 8-directional joysticks: one for moving, one for shooting. A port for the Atari 5200 was published by Atari, Inc. in September 1983.
