    I remember loving this way back in the day. What an amazing labor of love. I hope the original devs can learn how loved their original creation remains.

      The Original devs released “War for the Overworld” a few years ago. It’s as close to DK as it could without copyright issues

          I backed it on kickstarter, and played it again recently. It’s pretty good now!

          I mean, it was way better than what you describe for a LONG time, but it’s gone through so many updates now that it’s far better than it was even on launch.

      Lol. I remember reading about it and being quite scared as a kid. I’ll have to face my childhood fears now, I guess.

      Just looking at those screenshots made me nostalgic. I forgot how good the graphics were for that time and the fantastic 1st person mode, really cool.

      For me it would awesome if they could achieve porting it to Android, I am not playing that much on PC anymore. But thats my problem obviously.

    This is great. It’s so good to have this game maintained by the community. I played this game so much as a kid and have returned to it many times since. I think I’m due another go! 😈

    I was thinking about Dungeon Keeper recently. I was really hoping since 2 Point revived Theme Hospital the may do the same for this other Bullfrog classic.

    I have not heard of this FX thing. I may have to try it out. I always felt there was a lot more potential to this game that was never recognized. Maybe this will do a better job of it.

    Has anyone done anything with Populous?

    I might have to try this. I bought a copy of Dungeon Keeper from the bargain bin, and by that time my PC was so much faster that the AI just steamrolled me every time.
