Dungeon Keeper Gold™

The game is fully working for me, runs smooth on the game's high res mode .

I had never tried dungeon keeper before and it was free for valentines day so I figured why not, its free. So I got the game and installed it and when I saw it has to run on dos-box and I knew this was going to be bad. I started playing and beat the tutorial and played a few levels but then I couldn't stand it any more. The sound is bad, it has constant lag spikes and it just makes it unplayable. Please gog, get the XP port on here and I'm sure the game will be much more enjoyable.

For those who still have problems with the hardcore annoying music, you can just delete .wave files in the mainfolder.

Conveniently placed in the "system requirements" section, which nobody who buys a 20+ year old game will read, the store page tells you that by "purchasing" this game, you agree to EA's EULA, which explicitly tells you: "This Software is licensed to you, not sold." ...and places many "interesting" restrictions on you, the user, such as: "Your right to use the Software is limited to the license grant above, and you may not otherwise copy, display, seek to disable, distribute, perform, publish, modify, create works from, or use the Software or any component of it (...)" "When you play this game offline, EA and its affiliates may collect and store non-personally identifiable data including your Internet Protocol Address (...)" "By entering into this Agreement, you and EA expressly waive the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action." Since I do not agree to such ludicrous terms, I wanted to obtain a refund, but after about half a week, GOG basically told me to get lost, because I bought it more than 30 days ago. So now I (do not) "own" a game which I cannot play as I do not agree with its ridiculous license. Apparently DRM is fine with GOG, as long as its legal DRM (EULA), rather than software-based DRM.

I haven't bought the GOG version ~yet. I still have my CD, but a previous reviewer mentioned that GoG's DK was not the Direct X version. Well in this case I don't think that's a bad thing. See, IIRC DK for Direct x was (I think) designed for direct x 3 (or 2?), and one of the neatest things in the game was that possessed minion altered the player's perception of the dungeon with their unique vision. Vampires saw in infrared, flies saw in hexagonal grids, beetles saw in a warped hyperbolic filed of view. All of this was lost with the Direct X version, and I by far preferred the DOS version of DK. I think I've just talked myself into getting it again. GoG's price for a CD-less installer is worth it to me, not have to configure DK for CD-less play.
