Nethack

So how many people still play this classic? I haven't played it in ages so I decided that I'd go back and give it a try, see if I'm still any good with my old favorite - Gnome Thief, what are you're favorite? And what interesting games stories to do you have? :)

[Braindead]

I planned to start playing it, but never actually did since IK have so many games in my closet that I haven't played yet :cry:

Can you compare it to ADOM in some way or is it more a Moria-like-dungeon-hack? I like dungeon hacks... :)

[Wael]

You should /
Closer to Moria /
Better than Adom /
Yes, A Dungeon Hack /

[Tycho]

Ah I have never really played ADOM or Moria, maybe I should give them a try. But either way, I'm trying to get better at being an Elf Wizard. Anyone have favorites?

[Wael]

Heh,
Elf Wizard,
A Personal Favourite /-

Attempting a Gnome Archaeologist, but seems a little bit tough. How do you understand whats written in the dust? I've heard that different words do different effects, such as protect you while you rest, etc..

http://www.nethack.org :) I recommend playing the Windows graphics version first because the ASCII one takes a while to understand what all the symbols mean. :bleh:

Any way to call your pet to you? I still haven't figured out how to order it around.. Always seem to leave it behind somewhere between levels.

Equip a cocatrice corpse,
Stone a few enemies,
Fall to a pit,
Be touched by the cocatrice corpse,
And well,

To say something is better without support for your statment is ignorant. Better? Please define better...... do you know?

And because Nethack is better -

Nethack is an amazing game. I've played it in my spare time in the labs for years.
