Well, okay... that could possibly be a problem, but if there was an
exception for these people, I would honestly suggest that Dungeon Master
is it.
If its a game you've avoided Seppo, I really think you should give it a
try, IMHO, its a beautifully designed playing experience. The graphics
were in some ways (arguably) surpassed by games like Eye of the Beholder
and Crystal Dragon, but for my money these games and others did not match
the design and absorbtion offered by Dungeon Master.
Really! :)

In essence, the routines are there, you can move around, you can kill
aliens, and find pass cards for doors etc - but there just doesn't seem to
be any real inspiration to it. Where's the fun factor - okay,as an explore
'em up maybe, but even there its a bit on the tedious side.

Yeah.
I've got down to what I'm calling Level 5, under the cable shaft level.
and one more down after that. Lots of glass walls locked "lab doors" and
sentinel robots.
Its fairly dull IMO.

Not to my knowledge, but there's always the mouse.

I found an anti-matter "twig" by the way.

:) Maybe. I just remember on the coverdisk, entering areas and getting
killed without there being much I could do about it, it may have been a
cutdown coverdisk, or my cutdown arcade skills.

Well, I'm game to give it a go, if you want to kick it off.

Hmmm....... I think I'm being ridiculed. ;)
