Description
Evil is good. Create the foulest, dankest, most loathsome slime pit in the kingdom and establish yourself as master of all evil. Powerful magic, deadly traps and vicious (or at least hungry) monsters are your weapons against the hordes of clean-cut heroes who invade your lair.
You're the bad guy. Multiple gaming perspectives, including first-person control of any creature and a 3-D isometric view. True light-sourcing with real-time shadow effects. Over 20 spells to research, master and cast. 360-degree rotating, 3-D world.

Dungeon Keeper is 90's PC strategy at its very best. The setup is simple yet endlessly compelling: You, as the Keeper, must take over the world one realm at a time. To do this, you carve out an dungeon beneath the Earth, attract a range of horrific creatures to it through portals, and then train them up for battle.
Flipping the script and playing the villains against the heroes was still quite novel at the time. It gave me a perverse thrill to see a little more of the overworld map in ruins each time you return back to it, triumphant, and the dark sense of humor throughout is one of the highlights.
Some of the more involved levels allowed a lot of freedom to create huge, meticulously-designed bases, and there were hours to be spent tweaking things, placing fiendish traps, and otherwise being nefarious.
