I am new to the Net, and as an Atari games user, I am somewhat surprised that there is no newsgroup for Atari games, such as there is for Amiga users. Having completed both DungeonMaster and its sequel, I was interested in seeing what other Atari users thought of the game, or if there were folks who needed hints and such. Isn't there anyone out there who plays DM on the Atari??? If so, why aren't there any postings on the topic? Maybe it's time to start? Doug Yanega University of Kansas (BITNET - beeman@ukanvm)

Well, DM is rather old, and i think most of the posts for it have been posted already.

DungeonMaster for the ST appeared for Christmas 1987. The reason you don't see any mention of it is that most of the old-timers have finished it long ago. Chaos Strikes Back, the sequel, came out last Christmas (1989). Again, lots of people have finished that. As for how good it is, it is generally recognized as one of the best computer games ever, if not the best. -- Bob Deskin Cognos Incorporated (613) 738-1338 ext 5003 P.O.

Well, now... we who actually play games on the ST have finished DM long ago. But remember, the ST is not a games machine.

He's right, you know. And Flight Simulator is not a game. And Social
Security deductions are not taxes. And Operation Desert Shield is not
a war.
Personally, I think DM is one of the best games ever written for any
machine. The only thing that could have been done to improve it (and other
games of the genre) would have been to put it on a LD and include more
(EX-cel-lent!) animation.

Speaking of DungeonMaster .... I hadn't played it in a while so
restarted it last night. I was using just one character, Stamm, since
he has no mana which makes it more interesting.
Got past the Riddle room and there are three rooms where there are
iron keys in each one. The one to the right has a pit and a
transporter screen that you turn on/off. I must have solved this room
30 times in the past and this time hit a wall. How do you get to the
key?
Feel free to email me on this one. dhawk@well.sf.ca.us
later, david
