Dungeon Master done, bring on Chaos!

Dedication and patience. If you didn't have at least one of the two, you probably had a bad time playing games on the Amiga Rage quitters, steer clear.

There exists a version with an automap.

Easier to have these things when you are a kid. But as an adult, it is difficult to find time for a good Amiga session. YMMV, but personally I rarely have the luxury of one more than once a week so, when I do, I don't want this session to feel like work, because I have already forgotten the spell runes (apart from the fireball :P) or the various items/mechanics/map layouts/etc.

Yep.
Made for custom dungeons but can play original one as well :

You don't need to, we don't live in the 90's anymore. Even if I play for only 15 minutes in a week, that is enough to satisfy the nostalgia bug.

That's exactly my point, mate. I don't want to spend the better part of these precious 15 minutes gathering the various docs on runes/potions/items/maps BEFORE actually playing the game. And I definitely need these materials, because I cannot play DM more than weekly, so I tend to forget all this stuff and need to look it up again.

@meynaf
Sweet, that must be the ultimate DM version!

I really loved playing Dungeon Master and Chaos Strikes Back! I'm still going through the whole DM from time to time, usually during my vacations In CSB, there was a room I could never enter ; it was marked "Death row". But after 30 years, I found a solution to get in on the Internet. I was so happy that I made a video of it: [ Show youtube player ]

Okay, the back to the future reference got me.

Like the level below the sterting level.

Of course, more advanced actions yield more exp.

And then you discover that the game is actually good and keep playing because you're having fun.

Use meynaf's version of the game. It has a nice auto map. As for spells and potions: http://dmweb.free.fr/?q=node/195

Well Chaos annoyed me back in the day and it still annoys me to the point I think its not worth playing. On to Eye of the Beholder!

[OT] As well as on the PC "Lands of Lore : The throne of chaos". Westwood did great games on Amiga, sad they didn't do an Amiga port of this one... [/OT]

Because there was no money to be made at that point.

The top link on that thread (which I assume is the one you are talking about with automap) just leads to a 404 error for me.

[gimbal]

Indeed, the download link is pretty busted.

LATE EDIT:
The thing has been moved.

The first link after edit should be the same as the original link. A bit weird why meynaf left the first link in the post though.

I don't like editing old posts so i added some "edit" block at the end.
If after that people don't read, not my fault.

Might not be a bad idea to make an exception.

As it should be, but it probably doesn't apply to keeping links up to date.
