Yeah, adom was cool. There are some nice alternatives though, e.g. I like crawl a lot, and omega ("omega-rpg" in debian) has a similar outdoor feel to adom (indeed, _very_ similar... I wonder if adom's outdoor play was based on omega). There seems to be a flourishing scene making roguelikes these days though, so the future seems bright. [The "7 day roguelike" contest seems to really have inspired a lot of people!] The one thing that drives me nuts though -- modern roguelikes which only support movement via the arrow/numpad keys! Not only are my fingers hardwired to the traditional rogue keys (hjkl etc), but I don't have a numpad... [adom was nice because it supported user key remapping, so even though it was a pain, I could solve it.] -Miles -- o The existentialist, not having a pillow, goes everywhere with the book by Sullivan, _I am going to spit on your graves_. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
