Dungeon Master on SNES is one of those games that feels way ahead of its time. You start by picking a party of four adventurers—warriors, mages, healers—and immediately get thrown into this dark, grid-based dungeon where everything happens in real time. No turn-based waiting around here. Monsters lurk in the shadows, and you’ve got to manage spells, weapons, and food while solving some seriously clever puzzles.

What’s wild is how immersive it feels despite the simple graphics. You’ll be dragging items between inventory slots, scribbling down rune combinations for spells, and constantly second-guessing whether that corridor is safe. The Firestaff quest sounds straightforward, but good luck getting there without a few panic-induced mistakes. And yeah, it’s tough—but in that satisfying way where every small victory feels earned.

If you’ve ever played modern dungeon crawlers, you’ll spot where half their ideas came from. This game basically wrote the rulebook.
