Tonight I was showing one of my friends NetHack for the first time. It has been a while since I played it and it brought back tons of memories. Back to the early days of playing Rogue on a trs-80. Rather than launch him into something like Falcon's eye or a NetHack with tiles, I decided to show him the text mode. The way the game was meant to be played!

He used to be a D&D player so most of the ideas and terminology were second nature to him. I think he liked it.

Now I'm gonna be playing it for days.
