  1. What's the big deal about Nethack? by professortomoe · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I mean, sure, it is one of the first real games for the PC (Right?) and it runs on a myriad of systems but I never got the allure of it, and I'm a RPGer myself. Can anyone say what really draws them to this game? I'd like to know.

    is the Win32 DirectX port of NetHACK with isometric graphics (a lot like Diablo) and sound effects: Falcon's Eye

    Sorry, but my husband & I are both avid nethackers. At one point, I checked the logfile at the old college system, and together we were responsible for at least half of the games played.

    Besides, Nethack has its romantic undertones... such as the time I was frozen and encountered my husband's ghost. " touches you. touches you." ;}
