Play it now in your browser - dungeon master!! (the first one - there was a second as well!!)

Wind your way through a maze of dungeon walls, encounter creatures, kill them.. and then usually eat them.. oh ya - they turn into food. You had to eat and drink in this game, and had classes - ninja, wizard, fighter, priest.
cast health and stanima potions - cast fire balls and posion - among others - simple spell list.
it's distilled rpg - one of the first greats!!

the sounds of the game are really advanced for the time, in fact never before did you have spacial sounds like these - you could hear creatures approaching, getting louder and louder until they were right on top of you. The pounding on the walls always made the game seem urgent. Sound effects were really enticing as well, and made the game a classic for me. When sound effects work well - game play is enhanced many fold.

I played this game as a kid many times, it was the best dungeon romp ever, after years of c64 games that left more to the imagination than anything else, suddenly amiga's had this game.

wander a real dungeon with really cool monsters (well at the time it beat everything else and spawned might and magic type games)
I'd even say that the diablo games from blizzard were probably influenced a bit from a game like this.

this really carved out a niche.
here is the game play

walk through - i like leaving it on - it's like autoplay

I enjoyed the commentary, thanks for sharing. Never played the game myself. However I see where the appeal lies within it.

Awesome! DM was the best, though we had it on Atari ST.
