Randomly found myself playing Rogue and Hack lately, and I thought why haven't I installed the game that started it all for me?!
I played ADOM for a few years back in the 90s. It's just how I remember it!
That's the benefit of ASCII games -- they look just as fresh 20 years later.
There are more boxes and hints popping up now, speech bubbles, quests (?!) ... and opening doors feels weird ... But I turned off most of that in the config and it's business as usual.
Amazing how my brain remembers all the commands as I need them!
I'm just glad this game exists and I'm already looking forward to trying some of the classic characters which I remember. Is that weird forest still down there, with the living trees?... And at a certain level you reach a dwarven city.... It's all coming back to me.
ADOM is so good.
