Is anyone else as enamored with Dungeon Master as I am? (Has anyone else even bought it?) For those of you who didn't read my message of last month, DM is a fantasy role-playing game. DM makes excellent use of the GS graphics and is in "real-time"; if you're fighting some creatures, they won't politely wait around for you to take your turn. There is a pause feature, however, so you won't return from a phone call to find yourself dead. On to the point of this. I'm now working on level 10, and I've only found 1 (that's o-n-e) bug. Sometimes, the game will take one mouse click as two clicks, which usually means your party of adventurers will hurl themselves into a wall and take minor damage. Otherwise, I've had no problems and I enjoy the game tremendously. If you like this sort of game, I urge you to buy DM. The GS really needs more software of this quality, and the best way to show your support is with your wallet. (And no, I'm not associated with FTL Games at all, except as a more-than-satisfied customer.) Lester McCann (numccann@plains.nodak.edu or numccann@ndsuvax.bitnet)

I would think so, from the number of recent D.M. hint and map postings on services such as AppleLink PE. >The GS really needs more software of this quality, ... The other recent hot game for the IIGS is Taito's "Arkanoid". If you liked "Bounce-It" then you'll probably really groove on Arkanoid. I don't see how anyone could be good enough to reach the 33rd level (I used a "cheat" to see what the higher levels look like). I assume everyone already has Dream Zone, Alien Mind, and the 3 ICOM adventures (Deja Vu etc.)? King's Quest IV is fine also; although its graphics don't quite push the IIGS's limits, it has very good sound and is a more "relaxed" adventure. ChessMaster 2100 is pretty good if you're into chess (it does have some bugs but they're usually not a problem).
