New ATI card pushes limits of ASCII gaming...

...what ....the ....fuck?

thats really REALLY messed up...

Heh, that was a good laugh. Got the newest version of NetHack, too. Yay!

Although the originals, Moria & Angband, are still better, dammit.

I have Nethack on my Linux computer, it's like a 3d role playing game...but what's with the ascii pics and stuff? Is there a ascii way to play Nethack? If so, do many people play it that way?

EDIT: Ah, I just realized I have Nethack, Falcon's Eye, which is a gui based Nethack that doesn't change any of the game play at all. Neat.

I'm busy with my new friend, the Dragonball Z MUD, but when I tire of it, I think I'll get back in to nethack.

It just kind of discouraged me when a master lich took my 8-hour valk and cursed all her items. :/

Sweet, I just checked out Falcon's Eye, and it rocks, thanks!

I find that really sad...

Your welcome 😉

Though I like old school games, I don't know if I could get into the original ascii Nethack, but Falcon's Eye is a different story. I may dive into it sometime.

Anybody ever play the old BBS game, Legend of the Red Dragon? I've toyed with the idea of making a web-based version of it, but wasn't sure if there'd be many people interested. Maybe some of you old-schoolers would appreciate it though.

Dedicated Nethacker, Byron Wilkes, who has ascended twelve times, said, "I was frightened when the band of o's attacked me. They were so realistically drawn. It was scary."

LMFAO!!

at first, i couldn't figure out if this was a bad joke or some horrific new product. Seems I was right either way.

Is text-based gaming, other than MUDs, really that popular that you need a specialized graphics card to handle ASCII text?? give me a break

Take a look at some of the other stories too. 😃

:lmao: That's great! I can't wait to get a GeForce 4900 MX-ASCII so the O's can attack me SUPR FAST. And I'm especially scared of the X's. 😉

Heh. I just downloaded Falcon's Eye today. Fun game, that. I dunno whether I'll play that instead of NetHack ('cuz Falcon's got purdy isometric graphics and stuff) all the time.

Oh, snap...that reminds me. I gotta finish this readme file for my logfile analyzer. :P

NetHack...... now there's a game I haven't played in a long time. I might just check out Falcon's Eye though, the whole prospect sounds pretty cool.
