Re: What do you like/dislike about DM2 compared to original DM?


I know what you mean. DM / CSB was a classic, almost like a religion to us as kids, DM2 by comparison seemed like a ‘fake’, we couldn’t understand how it was the sequel. We still played it a lot, and it had its own charm of sorts, but it didn't hold a candle against the original masterpiece ...

Re: where is cowsmanauts old RTC graphics set

All good i used it to find DM2 old files i needed just a few days ago (to get the sound working).. I use it all the time that's why you never delete an old link they often can be found, if you remember to use waybackmachine. Glad to help. Enjoy the files.

DM2 sound issue dosbox x.

So I figured out how to get the game running full screen through dosbox x. The problem is the music volume works, but the important sound volume does not seem to work. I hear the retro music playing but, I hear none of the running into walls/ spell sounds/ footsteps/ key locks volume at all. Seems ...

Re: Stuck need help or Im restarting.

Yah well i did end up using guides in the end, due to this weird running out keys thing because I knew something was wrong so I looked into the ways i could beat it which did give me a few solutions that i wish i didn't know. Just due to watching walkthru.

Up until the keys issue I didn't use any ...

Going to start this game soon have a few questions

Is this game more like Chaos strikes back or Dungeon master?

Even though i did like Chaos Strikes Back after beating both of them I Preferred the simplicity of Dungeon Master. Less hidden walls, more clear puzzles.

Plus i encountered quite an issue with running out of keys in Chaos strikes Back ...

Re: Stuck need help or Im restarting.

Correct there are 3 possible ways to enter the ruby key room, that i know of.

1 -The puzzle that requires all party members to have boots of speed. (the purple line)
2 -The onyx key so i can access the orange area and get the boots of speed and the last winged key.
3 - a winged key so i can ...

Been playing for about a week straight now. I have hit a wall considering restarting from scratch because i wasted a few keys that i shouldn't have but i had no idea there were not enough keys in the game to complete it.

Re: Guide for usage of keys in CSB


In my last game, I ended up with many keys left.
This is partly due to the fact I've been lucky enough to obtain lock picks quite early in the game.
However, I was wondering, during all the game, whether I should use my keys or not.
This gave me the idea to write a short guide about key usage in ...
