Gold dragon (Dungeons & Dragons)

Golden Dragon was the first Boss (video games). It was created for dnd (computer game) about 1974 at Southern Illinois University on the PLATO System. The Golden Dragon had to be slayed in order for the player to obtain the orb.



The idea for an all powerful creature which had to be defeated to gain an immesurable treasure came from the cover of the Dungeons and Dragons rule book, published in about 1974.
