I set out to play Dungeon Keeper and reminisce about it! Which went great until I found KeeperFX and it was... not what I remembered. Yes, it's one of those days where having nowhere good to record a video only ranks somewhere about #21 on the list of issues I have here.

Notable sins:

0:00 A dungeon of my own
1:22 Subversion and serendipity
2:50 Parental porkers
4:11 Clock speed woes and KeeperFX
5:31 Coveting the actions of smarter people
7:48 Making life difficult
10:00 Seven minutes is a lot of nothing to say
11:35 Welcoming the Age of Plastic
12:32 That bit with the dogs
13:45 Bad times for the Lord of the Land
15:02 Making sacrifices to see what happens

Bonus fact: Dungeon Keeper spent a long time in development, with trailers and prototypes from as early as 1995. While early in-game footage looks quite different, scenes from the game's pre-rendered intro appear in their final form in trailers from 1996.
