## Summary
The ScummVM project has added support for Dungeon Master, the influential 1987 first-person dungeon crawler that helped define the genre with real-time combat and a rune-based spell system. Testing is open for two specific releases: Amiga version 2.0 (English) and DOS version 3.4 USA edition (English). Users need a daily development build to participate.

## What ScummVM supports now
- Supported releases: Amiga version 2.0 (English) and DOS version 3.4 (USA edition, English)
- Requires a recent daily development build of ScummVM, not a stable release
- Bug reports accepted through the project's standard issue tracker
- Game data files from original releases required; ScummVM does not distribute them

## Why it matters
Dungeon Master is widely credited as one of the most influential games of the 1980s, making its preservation through ScummVM significant for both game history and ongoing access to the genre's foundational work on modern systems.
