Legend of the Chambered

Legend of the Chambered was a game created by Notch. He later lost interest and gave up on it, as he said on his (now deleted) project page. It, along with other Chambered games, was based on games like Dungeon Master, and Eye of the Beholder. It was released at an unknown date before May 27, 2008.

Description
The game starts in winding stone chambers that needs to be explored. At the very beginning you find a niche with a pile of loot on the floor. You can take the following items to put in your inventory:
 * Studded armor consisting of cap, chestplate, leggings and boots (their textures were included in the Indev 0.31 items.png file)
 * Leather armor consisting of cap, chestplate, leggings and boots
 * Sword (texture used for iron sword)
 * Apple
 * Quiver
 * Shield
 * Amulet
 * Ring

The inventory has 4 slots to put armor, 2 for weapons, 1 for quiver and amulet, 2 for apple and 2 for ring, totalling up to 12 slots.

Trivia



 * The textures in Minecraft were the same at first to the Legend of the Chambered textures but with time some modifications were made, and some items were completely removed.
 * Notch had other games under the same name or similar to it. All of them seem to be at night.
 * There used to be a list of games on mojang.com that listed Legend of the Chambered as well as others.
 * In some posts Notch made in a Ludum Dare competition, he had some screenshots of a game that was labeled LoC (Legend of the Chamberd). This one however used mainly billboarded sprites.
 * There are green creatures in both Prelude of the Chambered and Legend of the Chambered. The ones in PoC are called Ogres, while in LoC they are called Monsters. There are also green creatures in Meta Gun, called Gremlins.
 * Other notable unfinished games Notch made that he took sprites from for Minecraft, were Ruby Dung (grass and cobblestone) and Zombie Town (the Steve texture.)
 * The Power Glove in Prelude of the Chambered also appears in another one of Notch's game's, Minicraft.
 * A game similar to these that Notch made, was Dungeon4k as part of is 4k series (See also: Minecraft 4k.) There are specked red stones called power stones, in the game, that you use to charge power fields. Notice the similarities with redstone from Minecraft.
 * The game Doomgeon took inspiration from Prelude of the Chambered.
