I had an idea. The wifie is gonna take me to the store tomorrow so I can get some graph paper. I'm gonna finally tackle some dungeon crawlers the proper way. Phantasy Star is top on my list. Any others worth my time? English only please unless it's "Idiot Friendly."
Phantasy Star should remain at the top of your list, after that I recommend Shining in the Darkness and Shining the Holy Ark.
I still have decades-old graph paper maps that I made for those first two games.
Other than that, AD&D Treasure of Tarmin is a great language-free dungeon crawler with smooth 3D dungeons. Each floor generates randomly though, so no need for graph paper on every level.
