Dungeon Keeper 1/2

[Mr.Reak]

Well, I don’t expect a lot of people here actually playing these games, but hell, I will give it a go.

In this game, you playing a Evil Dungeon Master, you need to build a dungeon, kill bunch of good for nothing heroes (some stupid elves and humans) and so on. But those games have a really dry (evil) sense of humor. Games are old, but here are bunch of screenshots anyway:


Dungeon Keeper 1 : http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/dungeonkeeper/screenindex.html

Dungeon Keeper 2: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/dungeonkeeper2/screenindex.html


Anyway, I just love how you can attract different monsters to your dungeon and most of them hate each other and will pick fights. Here is a example, fat ass demon (http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/screenshots/3/197183/dungeonk_screen003.jpg) hates skeletons, because skeletons make fun of him all the time. There also chicks in leather armor, who, when get bored, start to torture each other and you can hear their orgasmic voices spreading all over the dungeon.

Or what about slapping your imps to death? Or choke chickens? Nothing beats that! Oh, and if you get tired of your stupid monsters, put them into the jail or into the torture room, and see mother ****ers bleed! Haha, quite nothing like capturing your enemies (stupid good guys) heroes and putting them into torture chamber, so they will give out secrets and in the end will agree to become your slaves. Mwhahaha to that! But the best thing is a big ass Reaper, in the first game at least (here is a pic http://www.arstechnica.com/etc/games/3q99/dk2/hornytn.jpg ). That dude is VERY hard to summon, but he has a ego of diva! So easy to piss him up. If, for example, one of the imps (workers) runs into his room to fix the walls, Reaper will be SO pissed off, that he will go on the rampage, destroying your whole dungeon, killing all your monsters. So, best not to slap him

Oh, you also can control your monster from first view perspective, very fun to walk around and checking out your dungeon up close. But this is only game where you can an army of bunch of fat asses and destroy your enemy with them. Ahaha…

Recommend this game to any RTS fun, and to the people who choice gameplay over graphics.
Also, read Gamespot reviews for further information.

A great game, but doesn't seem to work too well on newer systems, same goes for Theme Hosptial (also pretty fun to play) which is a shame :\

Hmm, here, maybe this will help (not written by me):

" remember a now pruned thread where someone asked about this. I managed to get Dungeon Keeper working under Windows XP. The great thing is that it also works with Deeper Dungeons (expansion pack) and with the Direct3D versions of the games, so here's the scoop:

1) HOW TO INSTALL:

Problem: if you try to install it directly, you will face an error message right from the start, mentioning it needs Windows 95, NT 4.0 or higher. The game does not recognize Windows XP as higher, so it will halt the installation.

Solution: in your Dungeon Keeper CD there is a folder called KEEPER. Inside that folder is another one called WINSETUP. You should run the setup.exe program that is inside that directory. It will prompt you to choose your language, English being the default, and it will take a while to allow you to click on next. It is faster if you are not running a lot of other things. When the computer is done "thinking", just click next. Installation will proceed as normal. If the computer keeps "thinking" for WAY too long time, kill the process with task manager and try again - shouldn't be necessary if you are patient though.

2) BEFORE PLAYING:

Problem: the game won't run directly if you don't patch it.

Solution: go to http://dk2.ea-europe.com/dk1/conten...oads/index.html and download the patch, the Direct3D updates and the fixed executables, and install them in that order.

3) HOW TO PLAY:

Problem: video runs and then the game exits to the desktop

Solution: right click on the executable files (keepd3d, deepd3d for the Direct3D versions) and choose "properties" then click the "compatibility" tab. Select the first option, Windows 95, as the compatibility setting. It should work fine now.

Enjoy! "

Looks fun, especially for an evil overlord as myself :naughty:

I'll see if I can get hold of it somewhere...

 

[Hazza]

They are both great games, I own DK2, I got it for about £15-£20 in a pack of about 3 games, but I didn't actually want any of the other games and I don't use them, I just bought it for that. I've been a fan of Dungeon Keeper for quite a while which is why I wanted to get the second one.

 

[wowyouareacow]

Oh I played Dungeon Keeper alot back in the days. Good game. Good fun. Must get me a copy dont know who has my old copy. But if I find out who has it I will KILL the ****er grrrrrrr

 

[Varg|Hund]

Damn...All of my nearby gameshops sites were like "WTFuxors? j00 w4nt Dungeon Keeper 2? OMG n00b! It i5 likezor 5 years 0ld! We n0 h4v3 it!11one!!one! j00 w4nt CZ and CoD, they r t3h 1337!11!!"

And I don't fancy doubling the price from amazon by having to pay for shipping

 

[The Dark Elf]

Cheers Mr. Reak. I'll give that a go, though im on win2k so it might not work, but worth a try
-
Those that want to try the game, its on one of those budget collections now, PC World have it in the budget section, need to sniff around behind others but its in there somewhere.. First one could well be abandonware now too. It's worth checking out, its silly but great fun to play, and you can make your own maps which is always a laugh.

 

[AmishSlayer]

Those are both Peter Molyneux games. I've played the second one. I really liked it. I liked Black & White up until the final land...that was freakin' impossible and very annoying.

His main two upcoming games I'm looking forward to are:

Fable (OMG this game looks to be one of the best RPG's ever made) Xbox - Spring '04
Black & White 2 (Much more depth is added into this one..you can send your people to war against other religions and such. No idea when this one comes out.. but the things I've seen seem pretty early in development.

EDIT: I hear now that Fable may have been delayed to this Summer.. Hopefully it's not true.

 

[burnzie]

great games, got no. 1 gonna get no. 2 for like 5 bucks next time im in eb. budget title but realy good

 

[ph34r t3h cute]

I got both when they came out, DK2 has errors most of the time on my radeon 9600, but DK1 runs fine still.. done everything on both of them (Includeing Deeper dungeons on DK1) But there was about 1 person a month playing online, its a pitty as its a VERY good game.
