Dungeon Master II: Skullkeep (1994)
Genres:Role-playing (RPG)
Story:Chaos Strikes Back was a semi-sequel to seminal RPG Dungeon Master, but a true sequel came several years later. The game fuses real-time battles with puzzle solving and travelling, although the game now auto-maps. Rain and magic usage effects are incorporated into the engine. The first part of the game is spent above ground, visiting villages with shops and temples, and trawling through forests.Show more

1996... Those were the good old days. Back the I dreamt of having my first low-end PC. To achieve that i went to work in a hospital with a friend during summer break. I was still a minor back then, so my options were limited. The reason for going through the whole thing? Yep, you guessed it - Dungeon Master 2.
Morning till afternoon at work and evening spent on playing this game on my friend's coomputer. That was the highlight after a day's job. Hunting giant lizards and bats, fighting spectres, thieving Vikings, whirlwinds, worms, wolves and flying magic minions. Then opening the Skullkeep tower, going up the tower, solving riddles, leveling up, until the final battle with Dragoth. Climatic music, unique rune spellcasting system. We leveled up pretty high, getting ours fighter, wizard and priest skills to MON Master. Only the grandmaster rank is higher.
I still have my originnal CD published by CD Proojekt, when the were sttarting with localizing games. I still have my saves and I still have that need to go back and level up to grand master.
Ah... the good old days.
Not sure why there are two versions of this on here.
Man, I loved this game. The friend I played it alongside and I nicknamed all the monsters since we didn't know what they were called, "mud puppies", "MINE!s", and of course Sandaldude the merchant. He was the coolest thing ever, being able to haggle with him, watching the character think about the offer, the fact that he'd give you the small change possible if you traded your money box. We loved the Sandaldude Stomp, the "dance" he did when you tricked him into buying tons of items, and he's animated to take stuff off the table and stash it in his inventory. THUMP THUMP thump THUMP thump thump THUMP. Finally an organized money box spun over to us.
The strategy guide was great too; a narrative about the last party that almost won. With the beautiful joke that they made it to the end boss, suffered a near-total party wipe, and the cowardly wizard grabbed the bodies and fled. He was absolutely going to resurrect them but he deserved a night at the tavern before they stormed off to get revenge and save the world. And he got so drunk he forgot where he buried his teammates.
Just a fantastic game.

Dungeon MasterDungeon Master established several new standards for role playing and computer games in general. Dungeon Master was a realtime game instead of the traditional turn-based approach that was prevalent until then. Instead of using text-based commands to interact with the environment, players directly manipulated objects and the environment by clicking the mouse in the enlarged first-person view.
Abstract Dungeons and Dragons style experience points and levels were eschewed in favor of a system where the characters' skills were improved directly via using them. It also introduced some novel control methods including the spell casting system, which involved learning sequences of runes which represented the form and function of a spell's effect. For example, a fireball spell was created by mixing the fire symbol with the wing symbol. This kind of attention to detail and focus on the user interface was typical of the game and helped create an often captivating sense of craft and ingenuity. Other factors in immersiveness were the then-revolutionary use of sound effects to indicate when a creature was nearby, and (primitive) dynamic lighting.Action Fantasy
