September 9, 200619 yr Wikipedia Note: I've also added this to the The Tech Files under the Geckling Links. Has anyone had any experience with any of these games? The universe is change; your life is what our thoughts make it - Marcus Aurelius (161)
September 9, 200619 yr I've a little rogue experience from waaaaaaaaaay back when I first got a computer. Even tried to learn how to put one of those games together, though because of a lack of free time I never got very far.
September 9, 200619 yr Dink Smallwood is good, mindless fun. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
September 9, 200619 yr The only game on that list that I have played is N. Fun little flash game where you get to play as a ninja and make your way through the maps collecting gold and dodging enemies.
September 10, 200619 yr wow, i've actually played a few of those i remember back before i even started school i used to play Rogue :cool: when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
September 11, 200619 yr Battle for Wesnoth, Dink Smallwood, and UFO: Alien Invasion are all worth trying.
September 11, 200619 yr Agree w/the others - Dink Smallwood is a lot of fun...don't expect good graphics tho. I remember Descent too, from before it was freeware - we liked that one for a while, even if the controls made you dizzy. We tried Descent3 or something not too long ago - pretty much more of the same only prettier. Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.
September 11, 200619 yr Nethack is of course a classic. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Fun little flash game where you get to play as a ninja and make your way through the maps collecting gold and dodging enemies. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> N could be madly enfuriating at times. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta

I think I once spent nearly a month trying to beat one of the later levels that required nearly perfect timing in order to avoid a certain enemy. I think the first time I finally beat it, I had so little time left that I couldn't finish the next level.
