Dungeon Master 1

Le jeu

Dungeon Master (1987), originally released on the Atari ST and later ported to DOS, is one of the most influential real-time dungeon-crawling RPGs of its era. Unlike earlier turn-based RPGs, it presented a first-person perspective where players explored a vast, multi-level dungeon in real time, facing monsters, solving puzzles, and managing resources like food, water, and light. Players controlled a party of up to four adventurers, each with unique stats and skills that improved through use rather than traditional experience points. The game’s atmosphere was intense, with ambient sounds, hidden traps, and the constant threat of enemies lurking around corners, which gave it a survival-horror edge long before that genre existed. Dungeon Master on DOS preserved the challenging gameplay and immersive mechanics that made it a classic, and it went on to inspire countless successors, including Eye of the Beholder, Ultima Underworld, and even modern dungeon RPGs.
