So awesome. So very very awesome. Make sure you read the manual and keep the list of keys handy.

P.S. RIP AND TEAR!

Seconded

That is quite fun for a text game

But, it would be quite sweet if you could play multiplayer...

It just doesn't get any better than this, people.

[Omeganitros]

I admit defeat. NetHack is awesomer. Chardish wins the thread. -_-

[Omeganitros]

Bah, I played DoomRL again and made it to level 12. God, those Demon Lords are hard.

[Starshot]

Damn, how do you get that far

I've gotten to about level 7 max.

Oh, and copy your save files so you can restore if you get a game over.

[Omeganitros]

Never ever ever ever ever hold down the arrow keys. I care how much you think you've killed every bad guy in the level, there always be one just waiting for you to grow impatient hold down the arrow key.


And the Extended Combat Shotgun is soo choice. Much better than the chaingun.
