Dungeon Master Forum

Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are correct, I have downloaded the wrong blooming game.
Okay, I give in how do I download and play the Tower of Champions?
From what I see in the relevant page describing the game there are a number of files shown with no indication how to use ...

Yep, the Direct X works

Well I tried to take the advice that I should try out some of the custom dungeons in your archives and I selected Tower of Champions. Whilst the game runs I have no sound. Which clever hero is going to tell me what to do about it?

I'm Back!
I have just emailed a further offering - the Dungeons & Disk Drives column from March 1990 which has references to Dungeon Master and Chaos. I assume they will be with you soon.
As for nostalgia trips, I'm pleased you like reading the old stuff, I had forgotten how rude I was as the Troll ...

Okay, I have sent in another batch of Troll letters which no doubt will be set up soon.
My God, I'm back dealing with Troll letters and playing Dungeon Master until 2am again.
Where did it all go wrong?

Mitch

Well I have sent the forum five pages to begin with. In this case it was a long review of Chaos Strikes Back.
If the Dungeons & Disk Drives articles prove to be of interest to everyone I'll send them. As they dont always refer directly to DM or Chaos perhaps I should create a different forum for ...

Oh, I forgot to mention that I have found many pages written by myself (as a bad-tempered Troll) in ST Action to do with DM and Chaos. For example the big debate between players regarding Chaos when it was first launched.
As I was writing the Dungeon & Disk Drives column at the time I have quite a ...

The FTL interview with the FTL team was printed in ST Action Issue 19 November 1989.

Info regarding the Andy Jaros interview:-
This came from the games magazine - ST Action Issue 26 June 1990

I have now passed the Andy Jaros interview to the forum moderator, so I assume it will be available for you to view in the near future. I suspect I have other goodies hiden in the pages of my old magazines. I will dig these out as I find them.

And another thing! I have also found a 3 page interview I did, complete with photographs and artwork, of the art designer who designed and drew all of the monsters in the DM dungeon. Now who wants to see that?

Just in case you don't get around to reading the ST Action interview with the FTL team, I'll tell you one amusing incident that the team explained to me.
Although the game was designed to be fully loaded into memory at the begining of the game, the team thought it would be fun to add to the tension ...

Hi,
Just thought I would let you know that I have scanned the pages of the ST Action magazine which held my interview with the FTL team and sent it to the moderator of this forum. If he agrees he may make it available for you all to read.

Well as many of you already know ST Action magazine published a cheat code which made you invinsible. The only problem was that it was all an April Fool joke. This wonderful cheat was simply rubbish and didn't work. The fact that it was rubbish did not stop many other magazine publishing the cheat ...

I forgot the mention. Do you all know the story of the Firestaff and April Fools Day?
If not, I'll tell you tomorrow.

Mitch aka ( The Boggit)

The FTL team used to drive the Mirrorsoft staff completely nuts. Once it became clear that the game was going to be a massive hit, Mirrorsoft quickly realised that there was going to be big money to be made. The obvious next move was to get a sequel to market as soon as possible. After all, what go ...

I go away - I come back again!

Well I didn’t play DM yesterday. Ehem! Well not for long, only a couple of hours. Oh, all right I played for most of the day. Well I had to, as the plumber was here, and I needed to be around in case he stole my chest of gold coins and rubies.
My God, I had forgotten ...

Just a quick note:
Last night I decided that I should at least take a quick look down the Dungeon as I don’t suppose I have been down there for over 20 years. Longer I suspect than some of you have been alive.
I loaded up the emulator at 11pm , grabbed a bottle of beer and opened up that familiar ...

I'm back - and to prove it, I'm here.

First I should introduce myself properly. If you have read an adventure colmn in a Atari St, Commodore Amiga or PC magazine, then I probably wrote it.
Although my name is in fact Andy Mitchell, I have hidden behind many names while writing for game magazines. I ...

Hi!
My name is Mitch and I reckon I was the first person to play Dungeon Master in Britain.
As the Dungeon and Disk Drives columnist for the Atari ST games magazine ST action, I first spread news of this fantastic game.
I probably have a heap of stories around this story which I would be happy to ...
