I got it to run...requires Dosbox, but there are Youtube tutorial videos about how to do it for Xp, Vista and Win 7. I never did play DK1...why is it so much better?

[Game] Dungeon Keeper fans, prepare to SQUEEE!!
- Thread starter Nenjin
- Start date
It's hard for me to put my finger on it because I honestly like both games, but subjectively I like the graphics of the first one better. They fit better, imo, although they admittedly take some getting used to. Might have more to do with what I played first. Subjectively I also think DKI feels more cohesive and more honestly goofy. DKII feels a little forced.
But again, the difference is very hard to pinpoint and if it's there it's small. The graphics, I think, are the biggest point for me.

Reinstalling DK1! 
The main difference for me is that DK2 feels somewhat forced and that the horny is a special summon-able unit in DK2.

Teaser trailer for Dungeons:

I apologize in advance to those of you wanting something more serious. This game is headed straight for "Dark and cheesy."

I know, right? Yet some people seem hung up on the humor as though Dungeon Keeper was at one time GRIMDARK and serious.
They're probably just pining for the fact that all these ISO strategy/SIM games include humor. All of them.

So...ah....erm....I may have been a little hasty in calling this a new Dungeon Keeper, or even its spiritual successor. It's starting to look SIGNIFICANTLY different. I'm liking what I'm hearing, but you need to adjust your expectations because this isn't going to be the same game, at all, when it comes to game play.
It's now looking much more like Dungeon Tycoon or or a Dungeon SIM.
Heroes have wants when they enter the dungeon and seek out their wants. Combat, treasure, forbidden magical knowledge, that kind of stuff.
Fulfilled heroes have more soul energy to harvest when they're struck down. You get more of their total soul energy when you put them in prisons or torture them.
Soul energy lets you make stuff for your Dungeon Lord, and he gets levels and buys abilities of a WoW-like Talent tree.
If heroes aren't fulfilled, they wander around more and go deeper into your dungeon, closer to the dungeon heart.
How strong the heroes are depends on how snazzy your dungeon is. Building stuff like torches and interesting objects for heroes to find and look at gets you a higher dungeon rating, unlocks more stuff, ect...

So yeah. Dungeon Tycoon. We were all a little hasty in labeling it a DKII successor, but I'm ok with that. I like some Tycoon games, and this has the right theme for me. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised, given what Realmforge has worked on before, this is firmly within their comfort zone of game design.
