Welcome to the forum :)
I would recommend that you check out the quick links in the upper right corners..
If you would like to play the traditional dungeon master, you could look at the Clones (traditional). The graphic is in general the same as the original dm, but I'm sure there are new dungeon graphic to download somewere on the page. I think RTC may be the most traditional clone..

If you looking for a 3D version, you could check the Clones (modern).. If you decide to play Dungeon Master Tribute, I can say that it should be playable to the end as long as you choose 4 characters and ignore some bugs that may appear here and there ;)

Welcome to the forums! :D

If you want to play the same exact games, look to one of the following three clones:

1. CSBWin: This is the original Atari ST code, so it looks and plays exactly like the original. This is the truest clone out there - complete with the low resolution. :wink:

2. RTC (Return to Chaos): A clone that tries to emulate the original games as close as possible. The graphics are identical, but it has a higher resolution. It does not play exactly the same as the original, but if you haven't played the original for a few years, you won't notice the differences.

3. DSB (Dungeon Strikes Back): A modern clone that uses the original formulas for damage, experience etc. Graphics are identical, too, don't know about the resolution. Since it is rather new, it might have a few minor bugs and/or inaccuracies, but should play fine.

You can find all of these clones in their respective sub-forums. Any one of them will be fine. There are also custom dungeons for those clones, designed by forum users. Some are just as good as the original games! Enjoy your stay here, and happy dungeoneering! :)

Oh, another newbie to the forum - welcome and I hope you have fun replaying DM after however many years it's been for you :). Don't forget to keep us updated and stuff and let us all know how many times you've managed to die stupidly, because it's all good and we've all done it :D.
