Other step movement type games?
I'm interested in finding out how many DM type games there are; games that use the same type of tile/step gameplay (not free movement such as Nexus or Legends of Valour). Some of those listed below only use this method for part of the game, but I think they should still count.
This is what I've come up with so far:
Dungeon Master
Chaos Strikes Back
Theron's Quest
Skullkeep (DM2)
Black Crypt
Captive
Liberation
Eye of the Beholder 1,2,3
Knightmare
Dungeon Hack
Bloodwych
Amberstar, Ambermoon
These are just off the top of my head. I'm sure there are many others.

I kept seeing a post about a game called Hired guns with a "(Dungeon master like game)" beside it on Amiga net. This was back when I was still trying to find new games for my amiga before I went PC.. so about 5 years ago or so I guess.
found this link.. just now.. and I think I played the game. It was step wise movement like DM but the graphics were prerenderd raytrace images so when you moved it was super smooth. even on turns

There are copies @ http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?name=Ishar+3 (Ishar 1 & 2 links nr bottom of page) Underdogs.org is fairly slow, and is a bit neurotic about its downloads, and there are TOO many pop-ups... but there's loads there!!
Ishar 3 was the one i've played most, i think it's the best of the 3 by all accounts.

I had the weirdest amiga DM like game, in french i think. It came with several other games on the one disk, but what was it called? Something starting with M or N, like Nashta or something. That was one odd game, you moved half a step foward at a time and the monsters even stranger, were weird eyeball things and there was some woman who walked around. Unfortunately, the game crashed all the time, so i never got very far in it. I got to look this up on the net if i ever remember the name.
Another you've missed: Crystal Dragon
I only ever got to play the demo which came on Amiga Format or some such cover, but seemed pretty nice game.

Crystal Dragon was a fantastic game for the Amiga, and was made by the same team as Black Crypt. Full version is available with owners permission from this site:

Well worth trying if you have an Amiga emulator. Prettier than DM, but ultimately lacked the game play.

With ishar it let you simply create as many saved game files as you wanted, so yes, i always made progressive saves
I don't remember 2 being that bad, but there were occasions when you would get trapped, either in a dungeon, or worse with food!
If need food to regain stamina unless you have the right magic spell - and so no stamina, no attacks. the city was easy to get trapped in for that

Ooh yeah.Very much, I think. Just the battles are not real time, but who cares...Paul Stevens wrote:How about Wizardry? I never finished 'Crusaders of the
Dark Savant' but I think I remember that is was in this
class. Also at least one of the Wizardry series on NES.
Crusaders of the Dark Savant is one huge game. I never got very far in it. But in Bane of the Cosmic Forge I managed to get about 75% through... Darn hard games, but not enough addictivity really, IMHO. So I always gave up on them.

Along time ago on a desktop in my home I had towers for the PC. I can't remember if it was a demo or the complete version. I had the demo version for the Atari ST and was about to purchase it directly via Email in FidoNet when something happened and I never got it. a year or so later I got it for the PC but alas like I said I can't remember if it was the demo first 3 levels or not. I seen Towers II for Windows 95/98 is available for I think 14.99 so I am going to buy it. I never got the Falcon version of the game to work, it was on disks I got with the Falcon when we purchased it. I am hoping the PC version is as good as the Falcon version was suppose to be. If anyone has a working version of the PC Towers or PC Captive I would love to get a link to where I can get them. all the ones I have tried have resulted either in broken links or as in the case of Captive the last 3 times loaded but would not work VGA only CGA YUKKKKKKKKKKK!
never got Knightmare

I put a copy of PC Captive on my free webspace. It works with DOSBOX.
