Dungeon Keeper I - II - III

[Minsc & Boo]

Hey, have any of you guys ever played Dungeon Keeper I or II? If not I strongly suggest you look it up, best PC by far and away, but III was canceled awhile back and the company, bullfrog, passed away *sniff* *sniff* ANYWAY -- moral of the story is to go get a copy of Dungeon Keeper, but the real thing I wanted to talk about was that there is a group of people trying to make a unofficial Dungeon Keeper III here,http://warfortheoverworld.org/, and I would encourage all you people who know code or if you have a nack for drawing evil pictures while eating chickens and slapping imps to go and check it out ( not sure what code their using so you would have to get in contact with the head leader man dude )

Also, I was wondering if anyone here actually still plays this game or may have it tucked away in a closet somewhere? maybe? Just wanted to get a feel if there really was a dungeon keeper fan or two roaming around the forums ^^

On another side note the dungeon keeper license was sold to a japanese company I believe so if this project doesnt pull through all of the happy days of slapping imps shalt be lost for ever in a stupid MMO :'(

I have played Dungeon Keeper II, although a while ago so I don't have it on me right now. However, I did like it, and the digging concept/mechanic was unique and cool imo.

I thought it was brilliant, and the only game that came semi-close to its glory was evil genius, and it was a pretty big let down... Im just surprised that no other game companies have made a game with that kind of mechanics ( Overlord tried to copy its humor and did a pretty good job though )

Yeah, I mean the only recent copy I've seen based off on the system from Dungeon Keeper II is a mod for Starcraft II and it looks pretty cool. Although it is kinda sad that it hasn't been revamped for a full, new, standalone game.

I agree completely.... on a side note http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ljvSWYsWxk is a youtube video of some of the models that one of the people working on War for the Overworld has turned out... they are pretty epic, and on another side note, does anyone know of a game like DK 1 or 2 ( besides Evil Genius? )

Seen the trailer DK3 at the end of DK2. I just don't see how it would work for outside.

There is a game called Dungeons that was recently released on steam that is meant to be a successor to Dungeon Keeper I and II. It has a very Overlord feel to it, but its quite good.
