Dungeon Master for the Amiga is busy in heavy GURU sessions which are
being diagnosed and cured as you read this. I have not heard a solid
release date, as the definate release date of 30 Sept 1988 has already
come and gone.

I suspect Dungeon Master will be about as heavily copy protected as
Discovery Software's ARKANOID. I think (for memory reasons) they
will shut down multitasking. I know for certain this is a 1 megabyte
program! Also, the sound effects are in stereo and are vastly expanded
from the Atari ST version. I believe there's a bit of graphics im-
provement, being 32 colors rather than 16 to work with. It looked and
sounded great when I saw it at FTL; there's just some real-time
circumstances that always cause lockups or GURUs.
