I long ago solved Dungeon Master and am anxiously awaiting follow-up products (I heard rumours, long ago, of Dungeon Master--The Deeper Dungeons and a space adventure, but have seen zip) Anyone heard anything?? later james "max" morehead

FTL came out with the follow-up to Dungeon Master, called "Chaos' Revenge" (or something like that) for the Atari ST last year. Hopefully we'll see an Amiga version (with better sound and graphics maybe?) some time soon. It looks much the same as the original Dungeon Master, but the easiest level in "Chaos" is apparently as hard as the hardest level in DM. Travis Capener c/o PDBEAM @ watserv1 --

I know of people in West Germany that have copies of the Beta version and have seen Chaos Strikes Back listed in an add in AmigaWorld. It will be out very soon.

THe sequel to dungeonmaster is called: Chaos Strikes Back and is available for the Atari ST NOW! It is supposed to be out sometime this summer for the Amiga, according to a person I spoke to some time ago on the phone at FTL. John B Stelly III wakres01@pa.usl.edu

I've been calling lots of the mail order houses recently with just this
question and have been getting a plethora of responses. Everything from:
'It should be here next week' to 'We don't expect it until Christmas'
As mentioned before, it is out for the Atari St.

All I know is that Chaos Strike Back, (more levels to dungeon master) have already come to the ST and will come to the Amiga soon. Dungeon Master II, wil come some year and will propably be in space?!? Ron Birk, nv89-rbi@nada.kth.se
6600mict@ucsbuxa.ucsb.edu (Mark Rigby) (06/03/90)
Dungeon Master II: Chaos Strikes Back is not set in space according to my friend that has it. It will also be awhile before the Amiga release sees the light of day accrding to another friend that called FTL recently.

I think you misunderstand me! Dungeon Master II and Chaos Strikes back is not the same game!! Chaos is an expansion set for DM I. Thats what I know. Ron Birk.

Chaos is an expansion set for DM I. Just a comment from a frustrated ST player of Chaos Strikes Back. It's not strictly speaking an expansion set, since all the software is there to play the game without ever having seen DM. However, the manual takes for granted that you know the general rules about how to play the game from DM - this applies in particular to casting spells.

For the answer to when DMII will be out for the Amiga, the best
person to ask is the Receptionist at Software Heaven (San Diego).

If anyone's in the area, give them a ring and get details, then post.
Is all.

No, I undertood you. I know that they are not the same game. However, the friend that has a beta of the game says that they are almost the same. I'll let all of you know what it is like when I see it for myself. I may have misunderstood the friend that has the beta, I didn't really press him to be all that specific about the game.

You must have played some custom-built version of DM! In the standard game, you find various scrolls with the spells explained and defined. I guess it would have been possible to find all spells by systematic trial and error, but this would have been dreary in the extreme, in particular as regards potions.

Made a list of all possible spells and went through all one by one. I remember doing it because people were mentioning about fireball spells and my guys were only 2 or 3rd level running so I wanted to get the fireball right away. Also found all the spells that you don't get til later levels. I wonder if Chaos Strikes Back will have new spells? Lots of new spells could be created. -- **************************************************************************** // || Hardware : A2000, 3 megs, 2 internal 3 1/2" drives \\ // || Future Purchases : SCSI Controller, 40-60 meg harddrives, A3000 \X/ || jimmy@uhccux.uhcc.hawaii.edu or jimmy@uhccux.bitnet

I've been playing Chaos for some time, but there's been no hint so far of any new spells. You find some scrolls, but they contain other information.

I misspoke. Yes, spells are found on various scrolls in the game. I also derived some from the symbol description in the manual before I found the scrolls for them. Peter Kovach Sig - We don't need no stinking sig!

I have two questions on DM - 1) How do you get through the force field of level two which has the chest behind it? 2) How do you kill the rock/timber creatures on level three? Dropping them down the pit doesn't work because they come back through the teleporter. Hitting them seems totally useless with club/sword/shuriken soooo - how do I kill the suckers?? (fireball, etc does not seem to work either). Thanks in advance! Peter Kovach Sig - We don't need no stinking sig!
