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.

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.
