I hate headlines.

Knowing that Dragon Quest inspired Final Fantasy had me trying to figure out how "Dragon Quest and Demon's Souls is now more playable than ever" makes sense, lol

Of course, it's just like that for the clickbait. Can't give away what your article is about in the headline! Then who'd even read the article??

Reminds me a lot of "Dungeon Master" on the Amiga 500 and kinda like many of the SSI games I played back in the day. It wouldn't surprise me if that were also inspiration to those devs. The trailer looks neat.

Love dungeon master. I've only ever played the DOS version though

The A500 had much better sounds and graphics in general and it took PC a while to catch up (though it obliterated Commodore once it did). As PC gained popularity, I had a lot of games on both platforms and still preferred the A500 versions. RIP that poor computer.

I'll have to look into emulating amu that at some point. Off the top of your head do you know where I should look first. Like is there a dosbox equivalent?
