Back before I got my steam and GOG versions of the game (and admittedly, pre updated anything, if there were ever any updates available) this game was pretty darn challenging, even on 'Easy' (actually, I don't think difficulty did anything, they all were about the same).
I always had a fun time dying constantly to overpowered monsters (and some that were invincible, see: Ambush Orc Drummer). Like, I learned to fear the big orcs and the big skeletons and everything because they could sometimes just one shot you, no matter how good you were at the time.
All of those monsters seem to be absent with the latest versions of DD that have come out. I'm not saying that's bad, but I still kind of miss the challenges that they brought against me. Watching your heath bar go from full to like <10% was always exhilarating.
Anyone know what I'm talking about and/or miss this?
