You might be wondering what this page is about, well, its just whatever
I felt did not fit in on the other pages, so it all got slopped together here.
So on with the junk!
8/11/99: Wow...slight update to it all. Move along.
Angband
Now I suppose this game belongs in the RPG page, but I don't feel
like putting it there because its not a p&p game. Anyway, this is game of the 80's,
meaning its graphics consist of ASCII characters. How can this be fun? I know you're
asking yourself that, but, once you try it, you know. Also, I feel that
Diablo, yes Diablo, is (or roughly so) based on games like this. See the similarities:
Both have random dungeons
Both have numerous character classes
Both have a town on top, numerous dungeons below
Both center around your sole character trying to reach the bottom to
do away with some foul mega-monster
The main difference here between the two games is this: Diablo has
graphics and sound and requires a pentium to play, Angband doesn't. But then
Angband is still fun without all of that stuff. When I try
Diablo, a real version mind you, I will compare for myself and see...
Well since I am running low on major things to type about, I will just toss
a bunch of stuff together and get it all out...Only problem there, I am
still not sure what to type about! No, anyway, some of this stuff might fit
on my other pages, and eventually be moved where they belong, but for now,
on with the spew. Play Lode Runner. Play MULE. Yes, play MULE. In fact, go
buy a Commodore (yes I just said "go buy a Commodore") but make sure you get
MULE with it. MULE is the best game of all time (only #3 according to Computer
Gaming World, but then they said Civilization was #1, YECH!). Play it a lot, its
the best multiplayer game around. In fact I want to do a MULE page
since I have only seen one on the web, and it sucked hard.
Well if you don't want to go buy archaic hardware, then at least get an amulator (or three) and try it out. Awesome game. Anyway...
