Well, it's like saying that Windows is from the 80's too.

Well, in a way it is. But it keeps getting updates. And the more I play it, the more do I like it. Althought it's so easy to die, it's almost silly.

There is a graphical version, but I usually play the text one. I just like that one better.

Nethack would probably hold the record for being one of the most continuously developed games ever, I would have to think.

Really should re-download it, I haven't played it since I got my new PC... :\ Never can make it very deep in the dungeon anyways.

Kitten Yiffer: The death thing IS the point. I've read diaries of people who get right to the end, it's like they take a minute or so to plan out EVERY move at that stage.

Well, I'm still been thinking on whether to come back to the board or not, but I have a lot of doubts about it right now. But I'm kind of glad knowing that I can break away from it for good whenever I feel the need to...

*Shrugs* Eh, maybe I try things one last time, because why some things, like Acmlm posting, are good things. Some regulars have started to get up and leave, and right now, I'm in that process between getting up and leaving.

By the way... I STILL don't get what's so addicting about RO...

i'm in the same boat as you Waddler--i really don't know what is addicting about MMORPGs in general

a game that never ends just doesn't seem right--but for many people it works

It's relative. People say RO is all about clicking. It is, but I (and lots of people) find it fun. That's like asking a straight man what's so good about boobs, or asking a pedophile what's so good about kids.
People just like some things. Deal with it.

You have yet to metamorph into a crocodile by drinking from a fountain, then get all high by drinking even more water and then mistake your kitten for a colourful blob and kill it by mistake. And then you die as soon you transform back, as your surrounded by enemies.

I wish Nethack was easier for newbies, I can see how people are turned away from it becuse it's not click and play.

Nethack hasn't changed it's gameplay ever, so... if it's not broke, why fix it?

And the fact that everything's more or less randomly generated on startup... yeah... that's why it's been around forever and why the Nethack newsgroups are still quite popular on Usenet.

I didn't say they should change the gameplay, but rather do a tutorial mode of some sort. Sure there is explorer mode, but it only prevent stupid deaths.

I'm starting to get used to the controls, man I wish I knew about search before I started to use kick like crazy... my most common type of death was from my chareachter kicking the walls. Looking for a secret exit. Oh well, now I know the better way to do it. xD

You said you liked games that are only numbers and letter, right? I think that those are awfully boring.

We bought a gamepak with a bunch of adventure games a while ago. I didn
