Dungeon Keeper 2

Nostalgia ! I love this kind of package it makes it easy to play games from your childhood, while most of them needs workaround and fixes and patches.. and sometimes doesn't even launch on modern computers. Here, you just have to click play and enjoy the game in it's full contents. It is still a good game, like in my memories, maybe not made for everyone, but certainly made for those who played it back in the days.

I first played DK2 back in late 1999. I bought the game on a whim. Ended up putting hundreds of hours into it. I've played a number of dungeon manager games since 1999, but none of them have ever come close to Dungeon Keeper 2. Part of what I love about this game is the pacing. Compared to many base management games today, DK2 is fairly slow. You can take your dear, sweet time in most (not all) levels and you will never be over-run. That is a big plus for me. I really love designing the dungeon, training up my minions, expanding my base and then, ultimately, going in for the kill. I feel like a lot of newer games in the genre force you to move quickly and multitask like crazy to survive and while difficultly spikes are certainly fine here and there, when it is level after level that requires that kind of focus, well, it's just not for me. Some people will find this boring, which is understandable. DK2 is the perfect game when I just want to de-stress and have some fun. Now, one word of warning: getting this game to work is not easy on a modern PC. What ultimately worked for me was to do a fresh install of the game and then patch it with Flame v1.7. Ever since I did that, the game has run fine.
