Dungeon Keeper 2

tabAnimal · 15th February 2009, 17:14

This classic got me through some hard times.

If you haven't heard of it or played it, find it, it's a game where you build a dungeon and fight off the heroes using your minions.

I think it's from '98 or '99 but still it's a great game.

Bullfrog Studios, PM, yeah, back in the day when hopes and dreams were traded like currency, now they're worth as much the dollar.

(The wind just took two of my yard lights out, they are on an electrical wire, but the gust was strong enough to knock one over and then suck another one with it)

Joszek · 15th February 2009, 17:59

imo DK1 is a lot better than sequel.
Currently a chineese dev studio licensed DK from bullfrog (or whoever had the rights to it) and are in development of mmo game based on DK

Although the idea of mmo based in DK is awesome, I doubt chineesians will make something better, than another themepark game with EQ mechanics, and asian style gfx.

tabAnimal · 15th February 2009, 18:39

I had DK1 somewhere, but I can't find it for the life of me.

But I'm playing DK2 for boredom's sake.

It's fun, quick, and quirky.

Kinda like the backroom show on Tuesdays.

Ravenwoods · 23rd February 2009, 14:07

is this anohter molyneux game?!

Static · 1st March 2009, 00:36

Yeh I preferred DK1 as well simply because Warlocks were so f'ing destructive

Aragoni · 22nd March 2009, 02:52

Look at both my avatar and sig.

Morthor · 22nd March 2009, 21:13

Bullfrog studios.. brings back memories

DK2 was great but I don't think I could really play it anymore, I'd get bored too quickly.

moarfuzz · 22nd March 2009, 21:32

Many countless hours lost in that game. ^^

Max Lindgren · 22nd March 2009, 23:43

Like one of the previous poster I like the first game more...
Got to mention though that Bullfrog also made another awsome game; Theme hospital!
They definetly had some great minds in that company.

Static · 23rd March 2009, 00:06

Shooting those rats never got old.

Koji · 25th March 2009, 23:38

Dungeon Keeper was one of the hardest games i've ever played. Taking into a account i completed Another World on the Atari ST when i was 4. I just couldn't get my head around it. Did take up a bit of my time though.

Aww i remember when i got Theme Hospital too! Came home from school and my Dad had just came home from being off shore and he asked me to bring any glasses i had in my room for washing and Theme Hospital in it's big cardboard box was on my bed. I was so well behaved for at least 2 weeks.

boomer0901 · 26th March 2009, 21:17

Holy shit, I completely forgot about that game until you said something, yes I really enjoyed both 1 and 2. Ah back when games were actually good. Been about 10 years since something worthy of a challenge has come around.

GTwander · 26th March 2009, 21:53

I have to say I was a HUGE Bullfrog fan back in the day. Theme Hospital and DK 1/2 were tits, but nothing compares to Magic Carpet 2. I would play that right now!

Static · 28th March 2009, 02:45

Anyone remember transport tycoon?

Trubaduren · 21st May 2009, 19:19

Best game ever created, I'd tell ya. The cut scenes between the missions, EPIC.

Ziegler · 21st May 2009, 19:31

was I wrong for always spending too much time with the mistress?

hypehype · 21st May 2009, 20:11

playing dk with friends was the best. shame dk3 was never made as i was hoping they would make an online function

realnaste · 25th May 2009, 12:22

Does anyone remember the syndicate games? Those were excellent!

kasded · 25th May 2009, 12:28

I will never forget DK 1 and DK2 , theme hospital too there all were fun games.
Lol i even have a DK 2 disc

kio1992 · 28th May 2009, 13:44

i remember playing this game when i first got a pc, before i had internet.

as far as i can remember i loved it..

also had a game called populos

Isher · 28th May 2009, 14:14

dwarf fortress is a good predecessor if you can get past the learning curve/graphics

Cahin · 30th May 2009, 07:37

Well, I don't know if there will ever be a DK3 (or DK online). But it's one of my alltime favourite games. It doesn't matter which part. Well, the first is the better one, yeah. But DK2 was great as well. Never ever played such a funny strategy game. I just hope that the DK franchise won't be dead forever. Woul be a real shame.

And yeah, blame EA for destroying Origin, Westwood and Bullfrog!

i reinstalled my Dungeon keeper 2 and after a bit of tweaking i got rid of the dam black boxes caused by my video card ( cause it's such an old game)

and tried to install theme hospital but to no avail..
everytime i tried to run it it came up with

"this game doesnt support your resolution" or something like that, cant really remember, was quite late last night when i tried it..

BlindMonkey · 30th May 2009, 13:04

*hand reaches slowly towards his DK2 disks*

Do I really have anything that important to do today?

Populous! I still have that game stashed somewhere for my PS1. I loved that game

BlindMonkey · 3rd June 2009, 21:32

Populous was amazing! Both the original 2d and the 3d one. Had great fun playing those.

Wollkneul · 3rd June 2009, 22:51

This was one of the few games I bought in the 90's

Shivalyn · 6th June 2009, 17:46

I never played Dungeon Keeper unfortunately and the abandonware version doesn't work

But I did play ThemeHospital. That game was awesome. I'll never forget the big head disease and the 'cure' for it. Or the Elvis impersonators (or an emergency where 20 of them are swarming your hospital). And the hairy people that had to get electrocuted

Anyhow, if you want a game that's kind of like Dungeon Keeper, check out Evil Genius. It's a fun game and done in the same vein as DK.

Wonderboy2402 · 7th June 2009, 03:00

Dungeon keeper 1 was just a brilliant game. It was one of the three pc games of the 90's that I played constantly.

Baldur's gate and fallout were the other two. =]

Funny story, a few years back when I was at college. It was the first week of school and I was on my dorm floor. And from way down the hall I hear something familar... the distinct clicking of gold seams!

I ran down the hall and found another gamer enthusiast playing dungeon keeper and intermediately made a friend that I kept for all four years of college.

majakrigaren · 19th July 2009, 04:14

I played dungeon keeper alot when I was a kid in swedish.
Great times I had.

If you want a game that is quite familiar to dungeon keeper I can recommend Evil Genius. Quite fun as well.

Trubaduren · 20th July 2009, 03:21

Kick ass game, nothing more to say. LOVE IT.

PopeUrban · 20th July 2009, 17:58

"A dark angel has become angry because he is in the company of creatures he hates."

These words will haunt me forever with images of phantom skeleton armies and cyclones ripping apart my fresh stock of skeletons and vampires.

Spot on!

Achec · 29th July 2009, 01:27

I wish someone would just steal the idea and polish it with todays graphics. DK is still one of my favorite games of all time.

Noxite · 29th July 2009, 01:31

So fun, I still have it

I wish they made a sequel

Gwalchgwn · 29th July 2009, 01:53

I actually have it installed at the moment.

It really doesn't seem to like Vista and modern GPU's but it's playable.

I think you can download it free because it is abandonware.

taint · 29th July 2009, 05:02

can you link somewhere one could dl it?

Kraven · 5th August 2009, 10:07

Good old Dungeon Keeper 1 & 2, damn i miss those games.

Fallout 1 & 2 great games aswell, as someone mentioned, Populos, etc...

Meh those were the days. xD
