ABSTRACT
Dungeon Master spread like wildfire on the Atari ST, and it remains the most successful game ever released for that platform. Despite its action-based combat, Dungeon Master is far from a simple clickfest. Strategic simulations, Inc. was one of the first publishers to follow in the wake of FTL's Dungeon Master, releasing Westwood Associates' Eye of the Beholder in 1991 for the Commodore Amiga and DOS platforms. In 1993, Sir-Tech jumped on the Dungeon Master craze by publishing Attic's Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny. If Realms of Arkania extends the Dungeon Master model to add complexity and nuance, Lands of Lore compresses it, making a game that's much easier to learn. One of the last Dungeon Master-style games is Anvil of Dawn, developed by DreamForge and published by New World Computing in 1995.
