anyone ever played Nethack?
This is, IMHO, the greatest computer game ever. There are no graphics to speak of, you don't use a joystick, you can't compete against other players, but in terms of shear creativity, the completeness of the world the developers created in a 2 MB file, and the difficulty of actually winning the thing, I'm still impressed all these years after I first started playing it.
Anyone else tried it? |

Wow, I haven't seen anyone mention this game in years. Great game though, amazing amount of detail. Even with the spoilers it took forever to finally beat the game.

Re: anyone ever played Nethack?
I believe you are correct.
I remember first playing it around 94 or so, and I think it'd been out for quite a while back then. I believe the early 80s? Something like that. |
