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.

We used to have so much fun playing this game. I remember the voice when character ate or drank something and I used to mimic that noise when I was eating. I remember there was a huge thunderstorm outside when we played this, and it really added to the mood. Great game. I hope to play this again someday.

Cyber Knight
Cyber KnightIn the 24th century, mankind has gone into space. The crew of the starship Swordfish are in an engagement with space pirates when the battle takes a turn for the worse. In desperation, the crew activate their jump drive without a destination... and end up flung across the galaxy to the galactic core. The Swordfish however is badly damaged with many casualties including the captain. Only 26 of the crew survive, and of them only 6 are qualified for combat: The commander, two soldiers, a mechanic and a doctor and six giant "Module" mechanized suits available for them. These survivors locate planet Farworld, apparently colonized by humans. There they discover the colony is under attack by a relentless mechanical aliens dubbed "Berserkers". The crew of the swordfish must fight back against the Berserkers and explore the galaxy for some means to return home. Cyber Knight is an RPG with a science-fiction theme of being lost in an alien galaxy. The game takes place in a top-down view for movement on planets and areas, a side-view for combat sequences and a first person menu system when aboard the Swordfish starship. The Swordfish can travel between stars, scanning worlds for information. If the ship is able to land on a planet, three crew members piloting three Modules (giant robots) can be selected to debark and explore the planet. Many planets will have towns or people living on them which can be talked to in order to uncover information. Different quests are assigned in order to find the items necessary to progress. There is no system of currency or buying items. Instead, many defeated Berserkers leave behind "NeoParts", which can be brought back to the Swordfish's lab. Analysis of these Neo parts unlocks enhances statistics (endurance, agility, accuracy, etc) for the Modules and new weapons for them to carry. The six modules are unique in statistics, and also the six pilots each carry different skills. Combat takes place in turn-based combat on a 6x6 squares field. Seen from the side view, the three modules can be positioned in relation to enemies in order to attack, using a variety of melee and long-ranged weaponry. Ammunition is unlimited, but each module also carries a number of "options" that are consumable attacks. Each Module has two sets of hitpoints: one for the pilot and one for the module itself. If either one of these reaches zero, the module is destroyed. In order to heal, the party carries 10 each of repair kits and first aid kits, which must when not in combat. These kits, as well as options and defeated pilots or modules can be restored by returning to the Swordfish.
