Dungeon master was definitely one of my favorites back then.  I play it all the way through and even played the sequel &quot;Chaos strikes back&quot;.  I enjoyed this article for the nostalgia.  I wish it had mentioned two other games though:<p>Dungeons of Daggorath [<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Dungeons_of_Daggorath" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Dungeons_of_Daggorath</a>]
This did many of the things Dungeon Master did but much earlier.  I can see it&#x27;s arcade-style gameplay being thought of as different, but I didn&#x27;t see it that way as a player.<p>Black Crypt [<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Black_Crypt" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Black_Crypt</a>]
This really improved on the formula.  It was released around the same time as Ultima Underworld, but it&#x27;s a much more direct comparison to dungeon master.
