Dungeon Master II: Skullkeep

Dungeon Master II: Skullkeep (1994)

Genres:Role-playing (RPG)
Story:Chaos Strikes Back was a semi-sequel to seminal RPG Dungeon Master, but a true sequel came several years later. The game fuses real-time battles with puzzle solving and travelling, although the game now auto-maps. Rain and magic usage effects are incorporated into the engine. The first part of the game is spent above ground, visiting villages with shops and temples, and trawling through forests.Show more

1996... Those were the good old days. Back the I dreamt of having my first low-end PC. To achieve that i went to work in a hospital with a friend during summer break. I was still a minor back then, so my options were limited. The reason for going through the whole thing? Yep, you guessed it - Dungeon Master 2. Morning till afternoon at work and evening spent on playing this game on my friend's coomputer. That was the highlight after a day's job. Hunting giant lizards and bats, fighting spectres, thieving Vikings, whirlwinds, worms, wolves and flying magic minions. Then opening the Skullkeep tower, going up the tower, solving riddles, leveling up, until the final battle with Dragoth. Climatic music, unique rune spellcasting system. We leveled up pretty high, getting ours fighter, wizard and priest skills to MON Master. Only the grandmaster rank is higher. I still have my originnal CD published by CD Proojekt, when the were sttarting with localizing games. I still have my saves and I still have that need to go back and level up to grand master. Ah... the good old days.

Not sure why there are two versions of this on here. Man, I loved this game. The friend I played it alongside and I nicknamed all the monsters since we didn't know what they were called, "mud puppies", "MINE!s", and of course Sandaldude the merchant. He was the coolest thing ever, being able to haggle with him, watching the character think about the offer, the fact that he'd give you the small change possible if you traded your money box. We loved the Sandaldude Stomp, the "dance" he did when you tricked him into buying tons of items, and he's animated to take stuff off the table and stash it in his inventory. THUMP THUMP thump THUMP thump thump THUMP. Finally an organized money box spun over to us. The strategy guide was great too; a narrative about the last party that almost won. With the beautiful joke that they made it to the end boss, suffered a near-total party wipe, and the cowardly wizard grabbed the bodies and fled. He was absolutely going to resurrect them but he deserved a night at the tavern before they stormed off to get revenge and save the world. And he got so drunk he forgot where he buried his teammates. Just a fantastic game.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
