Yeah, too bad they never finished the porting on pc platform...I've played this demo 3 years ago and still waiting for the final release... Too bad, quite a really rocking game!

Can one kill the two headed beast? Where is the blade to kill it ? At the beast level (lower) or the starting level (upper). This game looks nice, with very little improvements it could be in the DM classe. I beleive, the detail that makes a lot is a large dungeon view, or a full screen view like in Stonekeep. Imagine EoB, Knightmare, Black Crypt with a view as large as in DM. Don't you think they would qualify as good DM clones ? What do you think other RPG games are missing to be as good as DM. What is the most important thing ? This is an attempt to give answers to "what is making that unique DM atmosphere ?" Cheers.

I played Black crypt on the amiga long ago. As I remember, the ogre blade was on level 1 behind a locked door and some walls. You had to look for VERY many hidden buttons and pressure plates, some of them on level 2. So you had to pass the ogre I think at least two times without having the ogre blade. It was quite hard.

I play the demo. It only has two levels. Your infos do fit. I found more, going beyond the ogre but not the blade yet. The ogre level is pretty confusing, some walls open and close with no reason I can understand ( I only have one head ...well I guess: kids don't throw stones at me ). Thanks for your help.
