Platform comparison
- Graphics: There are many graphical differences between the PC and Amiga versions. For example, the title and endgame animations are very different. Items graphics also change: the Amiga version uses many "old" 16 colors graphics from the first Dungeon Master, whereas the PC version has new 256 colors graphics. While the PC-9821 has normal graphics, the PC-9801 version has bad quality dithered graphics.
- Credits: The PC version has an animation for credits.
- Music: The game music is different in each version of the game: the PC version uses MIDI music (which therefore sounds different on different sound cards), the Amiga version uses MODules, and the SegaCD version uses CD Audio tracks.
- Screen layouts: The Macintosh version includes two screen layouts: a normal and a compact layout.
