Dungeon Master playable preview???
 

I am searching for the official Dungeon Master playable preview-version by FTL which must have been released in 1987/88.

The preview was on one floppydisk, and it started up like the full version. At the entrance of the dungeon there was a scroll lying on the ground including the message "dungeon master preview" (or something like that). When you opened the door and entered the dungeon, you were able to choose 4 characters (repertory of characters was not as big as in the full version). The preview showed some basic actions like opening doors, using torches, eating, drinking, and so on. A mummy appeared somewhere downstairs and later on you had to fight against two skeletons having swords and shields. Opening the last door, a scripture with "coming soon!" (or something similar) appeared.

I know for 100% that this preview existed, unfortunately I deleted it when I got the full version :(

Google found nothing for me, only the aminet provides a "Preview of Dungeon Master Aid .43" for Amiga; whatever this might be, it's not the version I described above. Has anybody got the "real" preview as an ADF file???

Thank you very much!

Really no-one? This one is a REALLY RARE piece of software :(

Too bad, a lot of rare stuff out there still not videly spread or even dumped.

I seem to recall a preview.. but my memory is shot... would be nice to find it tho.... have you asked at www.dmweb.free.fr (or similar address)?? Its a DM/CSB website and they collect ALL DMs like for the consoles as well!

I definitely recall this one too.

Wish I still had it :-(

I had a search around www.dungeon-master.com forums but no mention of it.

There was a very cool clone on Atari tho... where you can play 2 player DM... :D

This thread is many years old... Would anyone have this Dungeon Master preview somewhere?
This is a really rare piece of software: I know of no other mention of it anywhere but in this thread.
Last year, the Atari ST preview version was found (now available here: http://dmweb.free.fr/?q=node/247). Now it would be very nice to dig out the Amiga preview.
Who takes the challenge?

Sorry for reviving this old thread, but the DM demo for Amiga is now available for download on this page: http://dmweb.free.fr/?q=node/247

I found a Amiga preview. Is it looking for?

In the Zone

Hello,

How is it possible to access the Zone to get the preview ?

Thanks !

try http://eab.abime.net/faq.php?faq=vb_...ezone_faq_item

Both previews are also available on this page: http://dmweb.free.fr/?q=node/247

Thanks!


Thanks !
I have yet looked at this page, maybe I have misunderstood, I thought they were 2 differents Amiga demos ?

I only have a single Amiga demo on my site. The description in the first post of this thread seem to describe an alternate version, but as far as I know, nobody has it so it will remain a rumor until proven true

Great finds btw, both ST and Amiga demos :bowdown
