Torneko's Great Adventure: Mystery Dungeon is the first main game in the Torneko's Great Adventure series. It was the winner of the 1993 Japan Game Awards, and was regularly in the top 10 most written games in the Nintendo Power rewritable cartridge service in the 1990s and early 2000s. While an official English translation was created under the name Taloon's Great Adventure: Mystery Dungeon, it was never officially released.

Gameplay is from a top-down perspective, where the player controls Torneko, a merchant who delves into randomly generated Mystery Dungeons in search of loot to sell in his shop. Players have to collect items from the ground, and use them to battle Monsters to survive, and escape the dungeons with as much loot as they can carry. All gameplay, including combat, is turn-based, allowing players to carefully think out their next actions.

When Torneko is defeated in a dungeon, he's sent back to the starting point and his stats are all reset. All money and items are lost on defeat as well. The gameplay loop requires players to treat each defeat as a learning experience, using their knowledge to succeed, and not a "grind to win" experience like other games.
