any modern dungeon master clones/remakes?

Post by Rumtruffle »

ive played all the classics to death (bloodwych, dungeon master, eye of the beholder, lands of lore etc. etc.)

wondering if some developer has thought to revive the genre?

i know about devil whiskey, but i didnt really like that game too much as it was too similar to bars tale series and i never really got into them.

Its Dungeon Masters engine, but a different game. At least it was when I tried to play it (Wasn't the same maps as the original DM).

Apart from that, I cannot think of any unfortunately. Would be a great thing if somebody did a new game along the same lines.

yeah i believe i tried the java remake some time ago. was a tearful nostalgia trip to be sure.

pity that lots dont see the merit in such rpg's and create some new versions.

isometric is all very good, but first-person had its followers for sure.

There is an extensive list of these games in one of the topics (don't recall which :( ) Maybe you should try to search some old amiga games to play with the winUAE emulator (black crypt comes to mind, if you don't know it).

BasiliskWrangler... hopefully.

If you look at links you will see mirrors of the game - Try

Well I only found Demise by looking for A copy Devil Whiskey and that led to getting Mordor/Devil Whiskey/Demise in one go and the Demise poster Kicks ass :D

in my opinion, dmjava is the best dungeon master clone ever made !
You can even create your own dungeons with it.
