Today I played NetHack, an interesting game in that it ran perfectly on my computer without any emulators or anything. Want to know why that is? Because this version was released in on December 7, 2015. That's right. This is completely open source and has been regurlarly updated since 1987, 30 years ago. You can find it here and play right now if you like.
But how's the game itself? It's fine. Remember my Rogue review? Yeah, it's Rogue. It's not a Rogue-Like that seem to be all the rage these days, it's like Rogue2. In that it has the same concept of looking for treasure in a maze that you discover as you play, and every game you play is different, same ASCII layout, the only difference is that they upped the RPG elements and rebalanced the game to be more user friendly. There's not much more choice on who you can be and what you can do. It's a legitimately good game. Just didn't quite grip me as some other games did.
next up: A.P.B.
