What it is

Dungeon Keeper, Bullfrog’s game about running a dungeon full of minions and fending off heroes, came out in 1997 for DOS and Windows. The original needs DOSBox or patches to run today.

KeeperFX (Dungeon Keeper Fan eXpansion) “aims to fix up, enhance and modernize the classic dungeon management game” (KeeperFX README). It “started out as a decompilation project, where we took the original game executables and reversed them back into usable code. Currently the whole codebase of Dungeon Keeper is remade and all code has been rewritten.” The project is run by the Keeper Klan community.
