I think what they meant was that Knowledge of DM is required - specifically
how to use spells.  There is no word on how to actually play Chaos Strikes
Back, beyond 'works very much like the original Dungeon Master...' and other
mostly cryptic (to someone who's never played the original DM) similarities.

I wouldn't call that room as tough as level 12.  Those fire creatures are
mean.  Is it my imagination, or do these 'improved' worms have nastier
poison?

Bob, have you found the secret entrance yet?  I'm being very cautious about
this game.  I've heard that each invocation of NEW ADVENTURE creates another
random dungeon, so mapping does no good party to other party.  Haven't tried
it yet though.  

Some of those new characters look cool - the Incan party, the Bird characters,
the Insects.  I like what they did to Wuuf...
