I beat the game. Thank you Paul!

Post by Mayo »

First Off i wanted to say thank you to Paul steven's for porting this game. I didn't even know he was part of (or run these forums) when i originally joined, but after beating Dungeon Master I seen his name in the credits.

I just wanted to thank him for doing this for us all as a community.

I originally played this game as a kid on Atari ST religiously. It really was the game that drove my love for PC gaming in general. I remember looking years ago for a Port to PC and all I could find was DOS box ones that I couldn't save my game, which was useless.

I literally found this game 1 week ago and played like crazy. Enjoying it even more than i remembered. The cool puzzles the thoughout out game play. The ability to get lost and not have the game hold my hand like most PC games these days. Total epic.

Ill be honest I got hung up in a few places and eventually did look at some walk thru to help but eventually BEAT Dungeon Master after 39 years.

As a kid i only made it to the dragon lvl but never figured out the firestaff.

I now ported my characters to Chaos strikes back and will slowly try to beat that game.

I really appreciate Paul for doing this because I would have never beat the game without this port. And i look forward into looking into playing Dungeon Master 2 once i beat Chaos strike back.

Thank you very much Paul!

Woo, gratz on completing DM for the first time after so long :D.
Good luck with CSB - don't feel bad if you spend most of your time wandering around completly lost, clueless, and repeatedly dying to monsters/traps/multi-pit drops. That's bascially how we all started out and you can always just ask if you get really super stuck and need some hints or something as to wtf you're supposed to be doing :D. Expect to die a lot - it's fine, we've all been there.

Annotated maps are an absolute must for this game. Make sure you have meticulous ones.

I remember for the first year thinking the game had a downer ending because of what happens when you bring the Firestaff back to the start.

Then I figured out how to get the power gem, but couldn't figure out what to do when I found myself trapped on levels 13 & 14. I tried fusing Lord Chaos, but hadn't trapped him in fluxcages so it didn't work. It took getting the hint book to figure out the answer.
