Description
Bob's Dragon Hunt is an interesting exercise in using filled polygons to simulate a three-dimensional dungeon crawl, wading through all variety of draconic enemies (hence the title) and their various venomous, magical and breath effects, depicted in creative (if non-standard) 16-color effects.
Beneath the glitter and "virtual reality" trappings lies a
roguelike in spirit, though unlike
Dungeon Hack and its brethren, navigation and control are counterintuitive and seemingly far more nuanced than the simplistic gameplay (hack, slash, repeat) demands.

Trivia
Peculiarly, this product was distributed bundled with SW-TALK.EXE, "the Voice Library",
a new product designed to be used by shareware authors. This is the first packages [sic] that enable [sic] you to reproduce real human speech thru [sic] the PC speaker and add them [sic] to your programs.
It was invoked in the batch file that started the game, and when it was run would bewilder players by first addressing them through their PC speaker (which they ordinarily would only expect bleeps and bloops out of), making irrelevant remarks such as "Wow!" "Way to go!" and "You got it!" before any gameplay had occurred. Following this jarring introduction, the grating PC speaker rendition of the theme to "Monty Python's Flying Circus" while the game started was practically soothing.
