This game hasn't aged a bit

[Gray81]

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.

Yes, everything is still there, and more has been added, especially a bunch of new caves.

The forest has an extra down staircase in it now leading to level of mushroom type enemies and the mushrooms they drop have all sorts of fun effects.
