Others games like DM
Ok.... I'm in need of a good DM clone, or dm-like! I want to play such a game, I do like them, I want another one! I played Crystal Dragon, Black Crypt, CSB, DM, Bloodwych, EOB1-2-3, DM2... and I still want to play such wondeful games! Can anyone advice me with a good game?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Captive is an excelent DM clone, by Anthony Crowther, on the Amiga, ST and PC. Levels are generated by some kind of 'seeded' random level generator, so the game will last for a long time (AFAIK no one has completed it yet). The sequel "Captive 2: Liberation" leans more to the adventure-RPG side, but is still an impressive achievement, and is well worth looking into. Crowther also made Knightmare, which is similar to Captive, but in a fantasy setting, rather than sci-fi.
Have you tried this site: http://web.ukonline.co.uk/mdpontiac/ They have all kinds of DM/RPG for download for FREE!!
About Captive...
I got completely fed up with this game after 7 or 8 levels. Seemed a bit too easy: just kill the monsters, and you'll do just fine (only problem being exterminating _wads_ of them).
Try the Finnish "City Beneath the Surface", even though ugly and not comparable to DM/CSB (what is?), has custom made dungeons and some plot elements. ... oh, you'll find it from www.finnishgames.com
Oh... I waited 7 years to get (i.e. download 4 free) the Captive, imagine the disappointment.

Re: Others games like DM
I can´t remember the name of the game (perhaps you mentioned it already), it was a DM-style game on the amiga. The best thing was that you could play it in multiplayer mode on one computer with 2 parties. For example, one group could go fighting some monsters, while the other one was looking for food. In single player it was pretty boring. Is there a PC version of black crypt? I think that Black Crypt was the only DM-clone worth playing.
