Did you mention Sundog: Frozen Legacy during the interview or did he mention it on his own accord?

I'm going to throw a spanner into the works here but to give justice to Dungeon Master you have to give justice to FTL, and to give justice to FTL you need to give justice to Sundog: Frozen Legacy as well.

People around the world have been giving praise to the space-trading game Elite as a trailblazer and a legendary game (and rightly so!), but Sundog was so far ahead of its time and offered so much MORE. It's the Atari ST version you need to play/emulate as there is no Amiga version but trust me... this is true FTL and one of the best games you will play in your entire life. Right after DM that is...

Absolutely. All that is taken into account. Doug shared some info about Sundog, but not much new from what you can already learn elsewhere.

I was not particularly aware of it neither. But ok it really looks like it is technically the same map as for Amiga except the one text you mentioned.

I purchased "Chaos Strikes Back" awhile back. The GOR coin was in that game.
Is it possible the GOR coin was not in the original DM?

The Gor coin was a CSB thing, it did not come with any version of DM.

Yeah CSB had the Gor coin and a "map" - I still have both.

There is also an Apple II version you can play with an Apple IIe emulator.
