    I can’t agree about DK2 – I guess I never played it when I was young, so didn’t ever get into it, but going back to both of them now, DK2 just feels annoyingly clunky and 3D for the sake of 3D. Whereas DK feels just right – I think they lost what was special in the sequel. But it’s good to hear that others love DK2 – perhaps I should persevere and I’ll grow to enjoy it

    I’m one of the ones who suggested this game and I’m so pleased it was chosen! I happened to be playing this in September (using Keeper FX for usability). I absolutely love this game. It has heaps of charm – the whole thing is soaked with the best Bullfrog humour and the art style is wonderful – it still looks great today. I also love the premise: laying waste to the good guys and ruining the beautiful, peaceful land is the reverse of most games from the era.
    Another way this game reverses things is that rather than exploring land you make your own terrain by tunnelling-out the land, which is much more interesting than just revealing land covered by fog of war.
    I agree with Pix – for me this is Bullfrog’s best game and surpasses Theme Hospital. I go back to both Dungeon Keeper and Theme Hospital periodically, but I would say I’ve had my best experiences with Dungeon Keeper in the past year.
    I understand that it gets a bit repetitive, but for me that’s after 10-15 hours, which is longer than I manage to play most games for

    Just giving this one a bump so that it doesn’t get forgotten. We have 6 suggestions so far from separate members. It’s not just another strategy game or another Bullfrog game – in this one it turns the usual plot upside down – you play the bad guy and your progress is marked by steadily destroying the world map. The humour is wonderful.

    Dungeon Keeper would be a fantastic choice. The whole idea of playing the ‘bad guy’ rather than the hero is brilliant. It mixes simulation elements (managing a lair) with real-time combat more akin to RTS games. The sound is moody and mischievous. The humour is great. And it even features a first person mode in which you possess your minions. It would make a great subject for discussion and it holds up very well today.

    I’m attaching a gif of the visuals.
