Dungeon Master is an amazing game, even today. I originally had it on the Amiga, and remember it took me months to complete... after playing it again recently though it only took a few days to get through - bad guys just aren't as tough as they used to be.

The sequel Chaos Strikes Back tries to do pretty much the same, but the game is a LOT more difficult.

Later came Dungeon Master 2, which I recently played. It's a decent enough game, with better graphics and sound, but it doesn't feel quite the same as the original.

Anyone into this game must check out this dedicated website - http://dmweb.free.fr/

It has downloads of all the games, plus all the hints, tips, maps and walkthroughs you could dream of.

[font=Impact]Here I found some maybe usefull info about the game. Hope it helps, I have walkthroughs also but there is too much of them (for every level). If you want any of them just contact me. k:

The only reason I wrote this solve was because even though the game is not all that hard, its still an adventure, and I love to make solve files so if you got stumped on any level, then this solve should help you make it to the next level ok... First of all, get the DMHINT disk which has all the maps for all the levels... You really need maps... I'll tell you bout the tricky areas of each levels and how to overcome them, and even the special items on each level and their uses... I've spent over 100 hours with this game… (an ORIGINAL since no-one can make a successful crack. heh)

I wrote this solve in the order of things I did to complete the game, on some levels, you don't have to do the same things I did...but to ensure you the correct way, then you could follow my pathways, at least you'll see most of the game this way. (Shortcuts are always no fun!!) On with the solver!!!

Resurrecting a champion keeps stats. Reincarnating may lower or raise stats.

This is one of the best games of all time, a friend and I played this to death back in the day. Eye of the Beholder was rubbish by comparison. Better graphics, much better in fact, but it is the gameplay that matters. Things like spellcasting, I love the way DM makes you cast spells by learning the sequence of glyphs you need to press. Press the wrong one because you forgot the sequence, or because you were distracted by mummies trying to cave your head in, and the spell would be miscast and mana wasted. EotB had you just click the spellbook and cast it automatically, DM makes you practise the spells. Do you go for the level 3 spell that you have a 90% chance of casting? Or do you risk the level 4 spell that you have only a 50% chance of casting? Darkness plays a part as well, the dungeon isn't conveniently lit up for you. The torch is burning low, do you cast a light spell or gamble on a fireball to finish off the worm in front of you?

This game is the daddy of its genre, and it still holds up well now. Best played on the Amiga version downloadable from the fansite that was linked to earlier in this thread, but do play it.

As far as I can recall, resurrecting a character as you say keep stats the same. Reincarnating them starts your characters off with no skill levels - What this means is that the game starts harder, as you can hardly cast spells or use weapons, but in the long run you end up with slightly higher stats as you have increased through more skill levels.

In Dungeon Master, you get more experice the lower down in the dungeon you go for doing the same thing.

You should try and get everyone to at least journeyman in everything as soon as possible. This will increase their hit and mana points as well as other stats. You can use the following methods:

Fighters: Your front two characters should have no problem with this, but later in the game try putting your rear two characters into the fight to increase their fighter skills. Obviously only do this against the easier baddies (the Green Screamers which look like small trees are your best bet).

Ninja: Throwing things improves ninja skills, as does using bows and crossbows. You will still gain experience from punching the air though, so on the first level after you've selected your team, if you have the patience, get everyone to punch the air until their levels improve... then try it again later once your fingers have healed.

Priest: Some fighters start the game with no mana, but don't worry, they'll get some given to them at a certain level later. Everyone should be trained to make good healing potions. They're simple to make, the only priest spell I ever really use, and don't require monsters to be around for you to get the max experience. So get everyone to make the healing potions as soon as you can, improving the power of the cast as their levels improve. To cast the spell, have a potion in hand and cast the power, then the first symbol on the left (looks like a river).

Wizard: By far the most useful wizard spells in the game are light, and fireball. Light doesn't require monsters to get full experice, so is a good trainer. Cast the power, then the "N" symbol. Fireball is power, then "N", then "E".

As a note, fireball effects all 4 creatures in a square, whereas the more powerful lightning spell just gets the first enemy on the caster's side.
