Dungeon Master Forum

They was made only on Amiga and require winuae emulator

Perihelion (its rpg which am completed most times so is actually best game am ever played lol)
Black Crypt (its also on pc but am not sure full or demo?)
Crystal Dragon (similar to Black Crypt also very nice, never completed it because the same as BC have nasty puzzles)

Crystal Dragon sticks out as my second best DM clone, Black Crypt was tough but a lot of fun.

I never played any of those games, and other then Black Crypt, I've never heard of any of them either.

Some of my favorite DM-like games (and some not so DM-like) from the Amiga were:

Eye of the Beholder
Wizardry: Bane of the Cosmic Forge
Champions of Krynn
Death Knights of Krynn
Dragon Wars

I'll definitely try the 3 games Z5D posted about, as I'll probably like them...

Champions of Krynn
Death Knights of Krynn
Dragon Wars

never played those ones but i highly recommend Crystal Dragon, some great ideas in it, loved it.

I'd definitely recommend the 2 Krynn games, actually there's also a 3rd one, Dark Queen of Krynn, but I never played that one.

I'll check out Crystal Dragon, probably in adf format on WinUAE.

yes SU, i played it with WINUAE, hard drive version. a fantastic game.

what is champions of Krynn like? i have most of all the Amiga games so i probably have it.

It's based on the AD&D 2nd Edition rules, and is set in the land of the Dragonlance novels. As for gameplay it has several phases of gameplay. When traveling, you move around on a map of the area, while traveling on the map, you may randomly encounter traders, or monsters. If you reach a location (ie town, fort, temple, etc) you go to a 1st person view, similar to DM. As you wander around, you may encounter random monsters, or fixed monster encounters (tied to a particular location). Whether traveling on the map, or in a town/dungeon, whenever you encounter monsters and a battle starts, you go to a battle screen, which is a top-down view, and battle progresses in turns, much like a pen and paper AD&D game would, with each character and monster taking a turn in acting, which can be to attack, cast a spell, or use an item, bandage an unconscious party member (which stops them from dying so they'll wake up after the battle's over) or do nothing.

Here's some screenshots:




EDIT: I just noticed, whoever took that screenshot middle left, must have been a big fan of the Blues Brothers -- all the party members are named after characters from the movie.

EDIT2: I fixed the images that were being blocked, lost the "blues brothers" image though. You can see more images and a description here: http://www.old-games.com/download/3967/ ... s-of-krynn

similar to the game Heroes Quest

Most of the screenshots don't work because the site you're linking from (www.old-games.com) is blocking hotlinking. They'll show up for you because they're in your cache but nobody else can see them.

Yeah, I just noticed that... I'll have to find some other links then...
