Rougelikes and Hacking



Rougelikes are basically top-down,random based, RPGs(not the gun) where the controls are text based and the game is featured with ASCII(text symbols) graphics.Rougelikes are also famous for being REALLY HARD Above is a screen-shot of Nethack. The best RPG ever and the most misleading title. Your objective is to get the Amulet of Yendor from the lowest level of the dungeon and bring it back up. On your way youll deal with hunger,creatuers,traps, and puzzles. The character system is great(class,gender,religion) and you never cease being bombarded during gameplay with new weapons,polymorphisms, and pets. This is a truly interactive experience. Especially since its free. Everyone should try this but most will be drawn away by its graphics and controls(nearly every key on the keyboard has an action). Its an OR. Tell me if u beat it on your first try. Then Ill congratulates you.
