It is just a copy of dungeon master. Apparently SSI stole the whole game
mechanics from FTL, and got good review from the IBM press since they apparently
are better known in the IBM world than FTL. I am against copyrights on
user-interfaces, but SSI lies makes me sick.

The REAL innovators are FTL. Play Dungeon Master and Chaos Strikes Back to see
what EoB is. DM & CSB makes full use of the amiga (you can track monsters by
listening to stereophonic noises, no disc access, even between levels!!!). Too
bad Sundog wasn't ported to the amiga (or was it?). SSI has made really crappy
software before, FTL have produced ONLY true masterpieces.

I don't mean EoB is crappy, only all good things in it comes from FTL, not SSI.
