I played the first two on an Apple IIc clone. It came with map templates to encourage you to map dungeons and towns out with pencil and paper. Feels more immersive, in retrospect, to have to organize your own satchel of maps when you needed to revisit an area

i don't think you are remembering the HOMM games, which were self-mapping. towns had no real interior structure, and there were no dungeons (there was an underworld which was self-mapping, like the overworld).
