Dead wrong! Bloodwych was the first DM clone, perhaps one year after it at
least. (don't forget DM was out for the ST well before the amiga version...).

PS: to various people: there is a lot more to the DM interface than just the 3-D
view of the maze, it is what is called "direct manipulation". Try to make a good
user interface once, then you'll be able to appreciate the sheer beauty of DM's
"engine". You know, really good people can make extremely hard feats look easy
and effortless...

PPS: If you want to be convinced that SSI CAN release low quality software, try
their latest, called (I think)  return of the death knights of krynn... EOB high
quality was SSI exception, not the rule!
