Get in there!
Get in there!
I avoid this game because I know, with a high likelihood, that I will never play anything else ever again.
Embrace it.
I gave it a try that night. I haven't made it out of the first room. My dog keeps picking up some gold and then dropping it.
I believe I found a hallway of some sort, but movement issues make it tough to maneuver through it. It's strange to play when I have no number pad.
Actually, it's strange to play period.
This game is all style, no substance, and not nearly text enough for my tastes.
Yes. Not having a numpad is definitely a setback unless you are an avid Unix user. I actually bought a portable USB numpad so that I could play NetHack on my net book. Don't you have an old keyboard laying around somewhere?
I don't have a numpad. But I am going to see what all this everything is about.
EDIT: So far a rock fell on my head and I can't get out of this room. Also I have a kitten.
Signature by rubah. I think.
If you can't find any obvious exits, you may have to (S)earch multiple times around suspicious walls or ends of hallways to find hidden passages and doors.
Necro, you have convinced me to give this a try, though I might not be able to play very much until after New Year's. Also my laptop doesn't have a numpad, so I will first have to dig around to find a USB keyboard.
Get in there. I will help you guys out. Get back to me when you've got a few deaths under your belt.
Lynx: Why you no play?
Dude, experience and dungeon level 6. Not bad at all. You're getting very close to Sokoban which is really commendable considering you've played only ten games. Stay away from those fountains, and try a sturdier class!
I may or may not have had someone (*cough*Jeremy*cough*) nudging me toward playing this again, so here I am. I might pop in from time to time with laughable screenshots of smurfups. :P
Are you playing on nethack.alt.org?
