The Dungeon engine certainly looks like raycasting, especially taken
with the comment theat they had 360 degree turning but took it out to
stay the same as the City. Raycasting is an extremely fast and simple
solution for drawing that kind of map, so it wouldn't surprise me at
all if they were using something indistinguishable. I wonder if you
could hack the turn code in the Dungeon and get a view from another
angle?...

The City didn't use raycasting from what I understand, but seemed more
based on clever tricks and lookup tables. It's still annoying that the
emulators choke on Phil's mirrored wall trick.
