Best bits of DM/CSB

Post by Froud »

Whats your favourite aspects of the two great games ? Mine as follows:

1. Going up a level in anything. Those words "Froud just gained a wizard level" ahhhhhh The best thing that can happen to you with your clothes on.

2. Tempting a Water elemental over a grate and watching it disappear. How STUPID can any monster get !

3. Leading a knight into a room and locking him in. I swear I can detect a look of self disgust on their faces when they realise how dumb they are.

4. Taking strength potions to the maximum and then killing loads of worms with 1 blow. The executioner in CSB is just brilliant for this.

5. The end of DM. Trying to catch Chaos in that room. My god hes a tricky git to tie down. BTW anyone else find the end of CSB a bit of an anti climax in comparison to DM ?

They don't actually have any faces... Well, not in DM anyway... ;)

In CSB they seem to have a creature inside though.

Oh yeah ! Best of bests is when all 4 characters level up one after another, and you got that shiny green yellow red & blue text at the bottom of the screen !!!

Btw don't you think the forum should display the same message whenever we reach a new user rank ? ;)

There's no extra message -- if all characters level up at the same time you get the same message in four colours, that's all.

That's cool, I didn't know you could do that. I only met one Water Elemental in DM. This is original DM right?

I don't think there's any gratings on level 11 of DM (the level with Water Elementals). However, in CSB there's an area called the Cistern which is crawling with the buggers and contains a lot of gratings. Have fun :twisted:.

Only works in CSB, or other places where a monster teleporter is over a grate
