It's RTC. It starts out saying it's Return to Chaos, but when you open the application it is Return to Skullkeep.

So I downloaded the SKWin Skullkeep and that seems to be like the 'original on disk' one ...

Yes it is, SKWin is not a clone, this is a port of Dungeon Master 2 original code. Though it is primarily based on japanese PC-9821 version. But it is still not fully working. That said, I just refreshed the package SKWin package .
But you'll probably get the best DM2 experience using the PC-DOS ...

I downloaded the package and checked it out. I don't recall seeing the place a person shows up before.
I purchased Skullkeep for the PC, decades back, actually before I even had a computer with a CD player. Ha.

I kept it until I bought a decent PC and played it, yet don't recall that place with all ...

I'm curious but still confused ... What dungeon/module are you playing in RTC ? this is not the default DMII.txt provided with RTC, right ?
I'd like to test that.


SKWIN: Dungeon Master II for Windows is a truthful port of Skullkeep.
I copied this version information from the Encyclopedia.
Would ...

I have been descending (with a rope) down every hole I could find.
I finally picked one of the holes that dropped me into a good (yet dangerous) spot.
I've gained some ground, as far as going other places, but haven't found anymore scrolls with runes.

I picked a fourth character, so I could get the ...

Does that help?

Power runes are hidden in places too.

If you want to keep on playing that version, keep in mind that probably not many have played it so you'll get even less help than just with default Skullkeep (which is already neglected by most DManiacs ;) )


I'll have to keep on running around, I guess ...

If you have three characters, they each have a set of runes in their own spellbook.
Those different runes are all useable for each character...unless one of your characters is killed.
If that happens, the extra runes in that individual's spellbook are lost to the rest of the members.

I figure ...

I am playing Skullkeep RTC. I found a spell list in the Encyclopedia, however I believe the spells might be for a different version.

I have played/finished Skullkeep before. I believe I purchased the original DM2: Skullkeep at a store,
so it seems the spells are different than the list I found ...

I finally decided to pick four members, mainly to get extra spell symbols.
I would think a fireball would be accessible by now in my game.
Sadly, I am missing a number of the magic symbols for my spellbooks.
How do I find/get these other symbols???
Thanks

I couldn't find any comments to tell a person 'how' to import DM characters into CSB.
I'm sure I saw some comments about what is imported along with the DM characters.
I just couldn't seem to find those comments either. Grrr. Ha.

Also wondering if the characters imported keep their skill levels ...

I used different things so I could tell where it ported me, mostly food probably.
And I made sure to always face north before moving on (after doing a pirouette to check for walls).


I've tried that in the past, as well.
If I remember right, I chose to always face North. (I also started side ...

One other room was/is still confusing to me.
I believe it's the floor below the screamer room.
The room with all the blue fields that tend to transport you back to the beginning of the room.
I didn't spend much time there this time, giving up to go on with the game.
I plan to go back and find a ...

I downloaded DM, CSB and Skullkeep. (Thanks Ameena, but I figured it out.)
Haven't played these great games for a long time.

I'm currently enjoying DM again (great late-night memories in the late 1980's).

I came to the puzzle just after the four objects in the coves riddles.
You know, the room ...

Game envy here. I've never had the pleasure of this experience.
Anyone know if you can time a fall through one of the pits above the dragon,
being reasonably sure you'll kill the brute?

I checked your game out. I didn't have much time but enjoyed it.
Thanks for your effort. I hope to find time (and take the time) to play around with it later.

Aster said: Interesting. I've always wondered where people "deposit all their belongings for storage" and for me it has always been in that room that generates living watermelons (screamers). Is the fountain room near the Rat Room a better location when it comes to getting back there more frequently ...

I went to your demo of the first few floors. It worked well with the keyboard.
Ha. Much faster and easier with no monsters and buttons on every door.
I actually found myself disappointed when I couldn't go down the last set of stairs.

I don't know about the 'map' feature.
It's nice, yet I think ...

It wasn't just that it was his baby. There was proprietary code he used in a different project that he didn't have the rights to share. It was his code, as in he made it, but he no longer owned the rights to share it. This meant that legally he wasn't able to share the code without having to re ...

I just uploaded all my collection of champions. some of them are not finished yet but it will give you an idea where I am going with them.

I checked out your pictures. I hope you find the time to continue your effort on this project.

Thanks. Always nice to see new stuff showing up.
I watched about half or more of it...and I was about to head for bed. Ha.

Early New Years Eve here. I hope all the best for the new year for everyone.

I understand that, Sophia. The folks I'm trying to help would use it for a very limited amount of time, for technical help through remote.
At this point, I suggested that I bring my own laptop, download the necessary files, then transfer (I'm sure you've done that before).

The problem is that they ...

I looked back at this thread, hoping someone might have given some opinion on web browsers for the XP system.
I have a small business owner who has XP Pro on two of his store computers. He can't get on the internet for remote help or downloading.
Any chance someone knows if Opera is still usable for ...

Late noticing this, but thanks for the information. I went and checked it out. Reminded me of EOB is some of the gameplay.

Nice to hear the early experiences you went through with your Atari. I bought an ST and later the Mega??? ST. I eventually purchased a colored monitor ($350.00 or more). The better graphics were great. After all these years, Dungeon Master is still pretty decent, even when I compare it to the newer ...

It does seem it might have a 'familiar' look/feel to it (Grimrock mentioned). However, I didn't notice any need to have Spiderman abilities to navigate through it. Unfortunately, that is what frustrated me the most in the Grimrock games. Thanks for letting us know of this upcoming game. I'll try to ...

I've been going through some old boxes,
purging some of the 'stuff' I just could not toss before.
One great find was my original DM handbook.
Sadly, I didn't find my GOR coin.
Why didn't I tape it to my handbook?

I did enjoy many old memories, as I glanced through the handbook.
What a great game ...

I made a recording of CSB in 6 minutes and 40 seconds. Similar to rain''s 9 minute recording but instead of one save I used around ten. The saves are so I could get the right result with the gigglers for the boots of speed and take maximum risks so it's not a legitimate Race to the Ful Ya Pit ...

If you're talking about the stone golem dudes I only bother killing the ones blocking the route to Inquisitor because there isn't really any way to get around them, so I just make good use of the doors along that corridor to deal with them. I don't even think I see any of the others.


I believe ...
