OT - Who wants to write a "roguelike" game? How about a 4X?

If I were a NetHack monster, I would be a water nymph. Relationships are more about what you get out of them, than what you put in. That elven cloak really matches your eyes, you know.

Which NetHack Monster Are You?

Great. I HATE those freaking things.

I'd say you only have to 'depend' on your imagination for the first few games you play. I remember when I first started on NetHack, I had a very tough time dealing with the graphics (or lack thereof). But I figured there had to be something to it since there are so many gamers who swear by it, so I hung in there.

Now I don't even 'see' the ASCII anymore. It's hard to describe, but once you realize how deep and ridiculously addictive the game is, nothing else really matters!
