Does the version of Dungeon Keeper 1 sold on gog include the Deeper Dungeons expansion pack?
Are there also any other updates/enhancements/etc. in this version for modern systems?
Thanks.

Hello. Does anyone know the answers to my questions?
I'm trying to decide whether to buy the Dungeon Keeper 1 that is sold on gog.

Nope, only the main game. Deeper Dungeons not included. That was sold separately originally, unless you bought the "Gold" version, and this isn't the Gold version.

Deeper Dungeons: no, from what I'm gathering there(GOG and certain people inside a certain branch of EA) are trying to get the bullfrog expansion here, much like they recently did with the expansions for Wing Commander 1,2, Privateer and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri but much like when they finally added Alien Crossfire to Alpha Centauri and Secret Mission 1 and 2, Special ops 1 and 2, and Righteous fire to Wing Commander 1,2, and Privateer your going to get Deeper Dungeons added for free to the game when they can officially added it

As for modern updates and all that, no GOG does not enhance, "upgrade" or otherwise alter the original games save for fixes and/or workarounds that ensure they run on modern hardware and when needed cracking the copy protection when possible.

This is just the original game running under Dosbox/Boxer, which given that it's a DOS game and the Win 95 version is known to have issues on various newer setups(in before "oh I ran Dungeon Keeper 95 on my machine just fine" response also you =/= everyone)

it's not that bad actually you bump up your dosbox cycles a bit and hit the "r" key or was it alt-r or cntrl-r? whatever to play in "hi-res" mode.

I ran DK95/DD95 on my machine just fine! *winkwink

...they do still run on my secondary XP machine (older dual-core rig). I've played them in XP for years. I remember it freezing semi-frequently on Win95 itself, however. lol. Never tried on Win7...I've just assumed an attempt wouldn't be very successful. :)

That's nice to hear that GoG is trying to get DD....if they can get that + the level editor, I'll finally buy it as a back up to my very old discs. (I have DK+DD as stand alones and DKGold both).

Thanks for the reply, DCT. I would like to clarify something:
Are you saying that _if_ Deeper Dungeons is finally available on gog, all DK1 owners will automatically get it for free?
There's a very good Bullfrog bundle deal now but no DD is preventing me from buying it...

Yes, based on what happened with Alpha Centari, Wing Commander and Ishar(well in Ishar's case they added the third game and "ishar 0"/Crystals of Arborea since if memory serves it originally was just Ishar 1 and 2) that will be the case.

To back up DCT, I'd say it's 99% likely that it would be free! :) I'd suggest buying DK now, and enjoying it as is, unless you feel it's better to hold off and tell GOG, "Sorry, but no DD means no sale." Depends on how interested you are in the game.

Also, bumping up the resolution with "alt+r" does seem to help.

"Actually just so everyones knows, its not 'r' that activates hi res version, its alt-r and i just confirmed it works. looks 1000x better like that and run perfect for me. Man i love this game!" (JesterFool, from the reviews."

I've read that this is the DOS version of dungeon keeper and can't run the deeper dungeons. there are 2 versions of DK. One is DOS, other is Windows. And for the expansion you need the Windows version.

Not true the expansion came with 2 executables:
deeper.exe and deeper95.exe
for dos and win95 respectively, just as the base game had
keeper.exe and keeper95.exe.

These were functionally identical, except the win95 version defaults to hi-res mode, while the dos version would default to the low-res one.

In principle there were also the window exclusive keeperd3d, and deeperd3d, which added bi-linear filtering to everything, at the expense of lens and spell effects, but those don't really matter anymore as dosbox scaling mode "super2xsai" essetially reproduces that effect without the downsides
