Dungeon Keeper - DOS, Windows XP/98/95, Mac OS game

Ah, Dungeon Keeper, where you’re not the hero—you’re the evil overlord. And it feels so good. Released in 1997, this Bullfrog classic flipped the script on fantasy gaming. Instead of rescuing villagers, you’re slapping imps to make them work faster, torturing heroes, and building a labyrinth of sadistic design. The dark humor, twisted charm, and Molyneux’s devilish creativity made it a cult masterpiece. Every trap you lay, every cackling creature you hire—it’s evil, efficient, and oddly satisfying. Who needs sunlight when you’ve got a dungeon full of screaming knights?
