Excellent game after you get into this. Addiction factor 101%.

Getting started is a bit hardish, theres lot's of keys to remember + lot's of documentation to read (if villing to read). Anyways, anyone familiar with netjack etc, this is another great ascii RPG

Available for various OSes, tested on FC 5 (linux) & Windows (ages ago, probably older version back then...)

I'll post screenies after I have reduced the size.

Looks like the site may be down:
I got a 'Service Unavailable' when I clicked on the link the first time, then 'Cannot find Server' the second time.

Damn....I was just in the right frame of mind for a good ole RPG too.

Look for ADOM, it's just as good, and just as hard to get into. (Ancient Domains of Mystery (?)) There's an official web site somewhere, and it's free. And should be hosted here, now that I think about it.

Then please make a thread about it. Then it will be validated

I think the programmer has some reservations about how it can be shared, but I'll look at it later (when I'm not at work).

I have played this game on my Amiga. But unfortunately it was too hard for me...But I'm impressed for so many things, potions, weapons artifacts, monsters in this game. It has no stunning graphics or music, but playing this game can transfer to early 80. years when every game was an attractive form of entertainment.

Yes. Getting started is a pain. But after one really get's into the game... Well, I believe I played some months of it when I first found it.. (year 1999 or so :/ )

A tip for beginner... Do not die

EDIT:
sidenote. I sent an email to adom's developer. (at least I hope it was him )
