There are other games that basically don't work as D+D style mega-dungeon crawls. Runequest comes to mind. RQ has healing, but the pace and risk of combat doesn't allow for adventures where you have a dozen fights in a night of play, or go through a hundred or more rooms in one dungeon. The RQ megadungeon is Snake Pipe Hollow, and its a modest affair that can be stripped to the wall studs in 3-4 hours of play. Perhaps the closest they come to a big dungeon is Big Rubble. But the difference there is that Big Rubble is a campaign setting, not a single densely stocked dungeon where you are not continuously exposed to immediate danger of fights for hours on end. In this sense, TFT is more like Runequest than it is like D+D
