NetHack v3.6.0
The new NetHack is here! The game is one of the best RPG games
to this day, even though it's in text mode, without any fancy
bells and whistles of the modern games, it remains one of the
few games that have near-infinite replay-ability. You can bash
monsters with other monsters, which might have certain special
effects on the said monsters, train your pet to steal stuff for
you, solve Sokoban levels, embark on epic quests, and solve moral
dilemmas! Guys, this is the game to play! You can try it out
here, or just
telnet to
nethack.alt.org and play on one of the
popular servers for the game. (The registration is mandatory,
but there's not even email confirmation.) The game has been in
development for nearly 30 years (!), and it's still actively
developed by the great
Dev team. It's of the rouge-like genre,
and is recommended for anyone who ever enjoyed a good RPG.
Moreover, it's one of the descendants of most (or all) the
modern RPG games out there. Blizzard even allegedly admitted,
that without Rogue and Nethack, there would not be Diablo. If
you do decide to embark on an adventure, beware - there is no
save-and-return, so if you die - it's permanent. You can save
the progress to continue later, but never load an earlier save
to make up for the recent death. Also, know that it's a game
that's insanely hard to finish unspoiled, so get ready to read
about the secrets of the game. I do try going unspoiled, but
in my five years of playing, I never once came close to finish.
