Dungeon Master II: The Legend of Skullkeep is the sequel to the legendary dungeon crawler computer role-playing game Dungeon Master. Although it uses the same real-time grid based first-person RPG style as the original (though with much enhanced combat, graphics, and sound) Skullkeep is shorter, easier, and has fewer puzzles.
Launch Dates
Released in 1993 in Japan and in 1995 in other countries. It is available on PC as a dos program, Amiga, Macintosh, Sega CD (North America) / Mega CD (Europe and Japan), PC-9801, PC-9821 and FM Towns.
Platform Comparison
Graphics: There are many graphical differences between the PC and Amiga versions. For example, the title and endgame animations are very different. Items graphics also change: the Amiga version uses many "old" 16 colors graphics from the first Dungeon Master, whereas the PC version has new 256 colors graphics. While the PC-9821 has normal graphics, the PC-9801 version has bad quality dithered graphics.
Credits: The PC version has an animation for credits.
Music: The game music is different in each version of the game: the PC version uses MIDI music (which therefore sounds differently on different sound cards), the Amiga version uses MODules, and the SegaCD version uses CD Audio tracks.
Screen layouts: The Macintosh version includes two screen layouts: a normal and a compact layout.
