I missed out on this game years ago and finally decided to check it out because it takes a different perspective. You get to play the EVIL guy, which is a refreshing change from all the goodie-goodie antics of typical games. Even though saving the universe is cool, on off days I feel differently. A little part of me has always felt a little sorry for Evil Guys like Skeletor and the multitudes of other fictional bad guys. They work so had figuring out new, difficult complex schemes to foil the hero, only to have their diablical plans destroyed so easily because of the hero's brainless super strength or charm. Not in this game! I wont go into details but if you wanted to be an evil mastermind and torture your enemies and your henchmen too, this game is for you. If sometimes you feel like if you don't give a hoot about whether the mystical land of "Fantasia" goes up in flames due to the loss of some mystical bauble, or endlessly questing for a pair of dragons balls, BUY THIS. You wont regret it. Some people prefer the original game over the sequel, but I found either game to be enjoyable in their own right. Dragonkeeper 2 has better graphics and some new features, but found playing the original helpful in learning the overall gameplay. Have fun BWAHAHAHAHA

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly Unique Still Triumphing In its Utter Glory, June 27, 2002

Have you guys out there ever played a game like RPG maker, and wished the game had a bit more realtime elements? Have you ever been a Dungeon Master in a game of D&D and got tired of the continual dice rolling. Have you ever played The Legend of Zelda and wished you could be Ganondorf and send minions to prevent Link from restoring peace to Hyrule? If yes, then this game is for you.

I thik people should realize though, that this DUngeon you construct is not a dungeon like the kind you see in Lufia II or Zelda, but a more realistic one in which the good guys dig underground to find you, take out your minions patrolling the halls, and then proceed to take down the heart of your Dungeon(for C&C fans, the Dungeon Heart is more important than a CON yard). I bought this game thinking that I could directly control units in battle, put down puzzles for little 10 year olds in green tunics to solve, that's close, but not the idea. There is the presence of traps you can lay, you also have the option of placing and locking doors(a nice strategy is make all roms accessible in between themselves and lock out you Dungeon Heart with some magic doors, locked doors and all the pretty doors).

You ask me, rooms? How do I make rooms? In DK1&2 you have little workers called imps who dig out the dungeon using a grid sstem to decide where they dig. click on a spot of dirt and little creatures start digging. Once you've dug out space for a room, you magically create the room using the toolbar on your left, it's as simple as placing a tesla coil three feet away from an enemy CON yard.

Now for techinicals the greaphics for DK1 are nice considering it was made in 97(look at Jedi Knigh[97] I thought my friend had downloaded a snes game when I saw it!). You can also 'posess' a creature to see its perspective and admire the graphics more.
DK2 has even better graphics (1999) I hold it up to par with many games out today. Great improvement from 2 years ago.

five stars for a work of art...

There is no need for a lengthy review, this game is no doubt incredibly fun and addicting. I simply want to pass on the fact that you can find this game MUCH cheaper almost anywhere else. Save yourself some cash and run down to Wal-Mart, Target, or Best Buy and get this exact item (DK Jewel Case set) for 10 bucks at the most. While this game is indeed worth whatever price, there is no need to spend an extra 25 or so dollars if you don't have to. I picked up my copy at Wal-Mart for 9.98. Just wanted to pass that on.
