Surely one of the crown jewels of the hucard library, and the greater PCE/TG-16 family as well. I haven't had the pleasure of playing this one with a group of friends, but it's on my list of things to do before I die.

Best Chiptune music ever, arguably.

I am trying to think of how I can get a few folks together for a party of 2-4 bastards.

Definitely agree, it is my favorite game. Spent countless hours playing this with my brothers! A true masterpiece!

Potential spoiler:

I used to watch my 3 nephews on the weekends when they were 6, 8 and 10.  We would play DE a lot and one time the youngest one sat in the special chair, triggering the alternate ending.  We were all totally freaked out and they still laugh about it 14 years later...

They used to call the thief "Fatty Fat-Fat".

Agreed the intro music is one of my favorites on the turbo, and the rest is fantastic also.

I love this game best excuse to get a turbo tap. Too bad I'm rubbish at it.

[Gentlegamer]

What's your class of choice? I don't think I've used anything other than Fighter.

Too slow. I hate slow bastards. But, once you power up speed, not so bad 

The "best" character is relative to 1-person vs Party play (a party can support members with "weaker" offense).

Personally, playing as Robot is too easy, but fun.

What kind of special code do you have to enter to play as a robot?

[munchiaz]

ive actually yet to play this game yet. So i will def have to put some time into it in the next few days. I know i've been missing out on one of the best games on the turbo. Gotta wright that wrong today

[Mathius]

Without a doubt the best most atmospheric chip tune-age there is on the Turbo. We need to have a Dungeon ExplorerCon so we can all get together with multiple copies of DE and DEII and finally play it the way it was meant to be played. I have only played multiplayer DE once.

[Punch]

I wish there would be a way to play 5p matches ONLINE with other PCEFXers. That would be epic.
