Three Rings for the Elven-gimps under the whip,
Seven for the Gaylords in their halls of fudge,
Nine for Mortal Puffs doomed to wank men,
One for the Dark GayLord on his dark boyfriend
In the Land of Shitstab where the Gayness lies.
One Ring to wank them all, One Ring to cum them,
One Ring to stab them all and in the darkness rape them
In the Land of Shitstab where the Gayness lies.
He paused, and then said in a deep voice,
"This is the Master-Knob, the One knob to wank them all.
This is the One knob lost many years ago,
to the great weakening of its master's power.
Now, he greatly desires to have it up the arse again,
- but he must NOT have it!"

The world has moved on. Phantasy Star online does much the same thing with 3D graphics and is multiplayer.

Dreamcast owners are laughing at you.

Re:What is NetHack?

[TheAwfulTruth]

This is psychologically interesting. Nethack is a stupid little game. I mean really. Certainly Chess or Go are infinately more qualified to be called "The greatest game ever". Anyone that is new to net hack immediately sees that it is nothing. The only people that say it's "The greatest game ever" are people that have played it a long time and are extremely nostalgic about it, or have heard it's "The greatest game ever" and want to be cool so they play it and call it "The greatest game ever". The Salon article is the best. The authour agrees that it is "The best game ever" (as he calls it) merely on the say so of others... It's a cult and only cult members or cult member wannabes see any greatness in it at all. Non members see nothing. It's a zen test.
