Summary

Dungeon Keeper Premium (ダンジョンキーパープレミアム) is a Japanese release and repackaging of Dungeon Keeper. It features both Japanese and English voice and text, and includes The Deeper Dungeons, the Desktop Theme, and the Direct3D version. It does not, however, include the Dungeon Keeper Level Editor. There is also no MS-DOS version; it is Windows-only, unlike western releases. The package also includes the story booklet The Dreadful Demise of Derek the Dauntless. At least some versions also feature an Electronic Arts loading cinematic, which does not exist on the western versions of Dungeon Keeper. There is also a creature 'investigative report' booklet, which shows each creature's stats and is not in western releases of Dungeon Keeper, although the information is in the English official guide book. Later releases also include trailers for other Electronic Arts games, including Dungeon Keeper 2; this is the later trailer. While at first glance, Dungeon Keeper Premium may seem to simply be the Japanese name for Dungeon Keeper Gold, the numerous differences are strongly suggestive of it being a separate release.
