    It's possible to sculpt Venus using only a nail file (and a lump of marble).
    That doesn't mean nail files are any more useful than we thought.

    Today it's Sokoban... beware, for before you know it it'll be Elite.

  3. Re:Sokoban in Nethack by Ravagin · · Score: 3, Insightful

    And how! I was considering a facetious comment along the lines of "Hey, that looks like a nethack level..." but that would only work in a group of nethack players.

    Anyway, you left out the part about it being the best game in the world, etc. Diablo? Diablo is for people with short attention spans who like shiny graphics. Us hardcore gamers (with, er, 386s...) know where it's at. [/joking- play whatever you like, it's a theoretically free world]

    The curious ought to go to nethack.org and give it a shot. If you're new and using DOS/Win, try the graphics version. But whatever the interface, the game is highly addictive.
