I'm in the middle of a playthrough you screeching crybaby. People like you who cry their eyes out over seeing the same thread a few time are the most pathetic. Even worse than cuck bait posters.

I never played DM1, but DM2 was one of my first PC games. I loved it. I still remember that big shiny box with the cover sleeve.

Also a cozy starting town until the minions start showing up.

Nightdive remastered dungeon master? When?
>>
>>722555098

It's not really in nightdive's ballpark
imo krome should do it, they have a good track record with the bards tale trilogy, you can even look around the 3d environment a bit like grimrock

we're doing a dungeon crawling thread again? last one was rather nice not counting bitching around the word "blobber"
>>
>>722553204
Yeah Dungeon Master's fucking great isn't it? Like it simultaneously invented the real-time grid based dungeon crawl while also basically perfecting it the first time out.

Fuck some of those keys though. I swear there's one key on level 5 or 6 that blends in with the ground that I can never fucking find and always have to check a walk-through for. Great game but that one key can go fuck itself.

Return to Chaos. It's a fan-made, windows native port of the Amiga version (which is identical to the original Atari ST version just with better sound.) Includes the original game, Chaos Strikes Back and a fan-made slight remix of the original campaign (but you should just play the original instead.) Also really easy to rebind the keys to wasd via the config file. I'd recommend it:
http://www.ragingmole.com/RTC/
>>
>>722562790
... I never played it past the first few screens because for some fucking reason dosbox wouldn't recognize it when I rebound the controls. Totally wanted to play it and both Eye of the Beholders let me rebind the keys but Lands of Lore just refused to...

And this was back when I had an old laptop that didn't have a numpad so the default controls just didn't work at all. So sorry I can't actaully comment. I've got an actual desktop now - I really should just try it again sometime soon.
>>
>>722562790
NTA but I managed to lock myslef in a room full of high level monsters with the last save being hours ago. Had to drop the game.
Maybe one day I give it another try.

Wrong I do
>>
>>722562790
I got to the last level and gave up. I was kind of burnt out on the game bu them. Plus the Dungeon before it sucked ass
>>
>>722555031
It's mostly better other the graphics (cause EotB came out like 4 years after.) Big reason why for me is because sticking AD&D rules (especially it's Vancian magic system) into a real-time Dungeon Master game just doesn't work very well frankly. Meanwhile Dungeon Master itself has this runes based magic system that's really intuitive once you get the hang of it and a class system that lets you level up all characters via using their skills (it actually invented doing that in vidya as a concept) which just works way better in a real time dungeon crawl.

EotB is still good though - it's just that Dungeon Master did more or less EVERYTHING right from the get-go, if anything stuff like EotB's AD&D rules are a bit of a regression of the formula, that's all.

FTL Games' previous title, SunDog: Frozen Legacy, was also an outstanding game that has been undeservingly forgotten over time. Todd attempted to bring it back in a modern form with Starfield, but unfortunately, he failed miserably.

I'm glad someone else pointed this out. When Starfield came out I just thought it was a shitter SunDog game. Crazy how I never once heard anyone ever bring this game up when Starfield came out.

I played the Return to Chaos ages ago and remember it fondly.
I wanted to solo the game as my edgy self-insert Gothmog but I ended up adding Hissssa too as a tank/fighter. Late in the game, Hissssa was doing both the fighting and spellcasting (alchemy?), making my Gothmog secondary. lmao

man SunDog looks great. I can't be arsed signing up to a forum for the port so I'll emulate it.

Eh, spiritual successors already exist in the shape of the Grimrock games but besides - Dungeon Master still holds up (with a little bit of control rebinding) doesn't really need a remake it still holds up now.

Do you guys like Wizardry too? Im contemplating which version to try on steam.

>>722582434
get 6,7 and 8
there is a recent remaster for the original which is supposed to be pretty good but kinda expensive for what it is
>>
>>722582802
ill just get 6 to see if I like it
>>
>>722583185
out of all the wizardry games I'd actually recommend starting with 8 although it's completely different in many ways from the others it's much more accessible
>>
>>722582434
>>722583185
The steam/DOS version of 6 looks ass, unless you care a lot about importing your party into 7, I'd recommend playing the SNES version, or apparently the Saturn version got a translation a few days ago, not sure what it changes but the visuals of both console versions are much better than the PC one
