Well, then the original authors were as confused because back of the box says "*requires Dungeon Master".

Not correct that needs original DM disk to run. I have original of this, and you can create start characters with utility disk, save, then play with game disk. Confusion is probably because this can use original DM game saves/characters in utility disk, and save it for start this game with that.

Actually, there was Sequel - Dungeon Master 2, but that was too late for ST (rather Falcon, TT). It was for PC, Amiga (1200 only ?), and Amiga v. looks not good - limited colors. Maybe that's why even did not try ST version.

The sequel to Dungeon Master. Not quite as good (or anywhere near as popular) as its predecessor, which it did little to improve upon. That having been said, I was always surprised there weren't more sequels to this franchise.
