Hi guys 'n' gals in 17 Bit land,
Its The A.P.H.I.D! here...that stands for

but when it comes to Dungeon Master I am DEADly serious...seriously!!!
Oh what the heck...nobody believes me so I'll continue....

I have Dungeon Master [ as if you cuddunt guess! ] but I got fed up with
having to use a separate disc for each saved level...I'm fussy about
wastage and economy and things like that you see.

Anyway, I decided to create directories for each saved level on ONE disc
and do away with all this waste lark { and save money etc... } but I had
to boot up the WorkBench and manipulate the DungeonSave disc with the CLI
to get anywhere : I got fed up with this also !

Then one day I had a brainwave!  I waved back { I'm polite as well } and
set to work on a bootable disc which would enable me to choose which level
I wanted to play in and at the touch of a key would go ahead and copy the
relevant saved_game file into the correct position.

Thus this disc was born, raised, nurtured and has come into bloom. I am
ready to release it into the public domain through you bootiful people
but can you check that I'm not infringing any copyrights first please...?

I read somewhere that the authors of the { brilliant } Dungeon Master
wanted the players to get so excited that they would all start to exchange
characters via disc { or whatever else you can exchange them on ! } so I
thought I'd take this thought a stage or two further... well, here it be!

I've used common commands to avoid the risk of spreading any viri and the
keymap was created using the SETKEY utility on ST/Format coverdisc #11
from May 1989 in case you are interested...

The ViewILBM command I found on the January 1990 Amiga Format coverdisk
number 6 { as well as the maps } if you want to check 'em out...

I hope you can release this disc 'cos I've always wanted to have my name
{ NB NOT MY NAMESAKE } plastered everywhere...except perhaps the toilets
in Harrods...

You may notice that there are hints and tips hidden on the keymap. These
are designed to help some of the nosier { or more desperate } Dungeoneers.
I've left it up to them to decide what to do with the information...well
you can't make it too easy for them can you....!

Talking of tips...in the room with 9 pressure plates on level 2 just walk
onto the first plate, step back off it and walk forwards onto all three
plates in front and through the gates...simple eh?  No sidestepping at all!

Oh well, I s'pose I'll be going now...but just one small criticism before
I leave...

As Chaos Strikes Back uses the characters from Dungeon Master, why didn't
the authors allow us to save the game AFTER completing the game...?
And just WHEN is Chaos going to be released...we're all waiting....
