Speaking of ASCII characters, I still play Rogue ("You scored an excellent hit on the bat") once in a while, for nostalgia's sake. I wasted quite a few hours playing Rogue on a VAX 11/780 in college in 1982 - that's how I got started with all this gaming stuff!
Thanks for all the DII tips.
I am in my sorceress is getting her butt kicked now that I am in Nightmare mode.
~~sigh~~
I am such a girl...my favorite part of the game is when I get a gem :)
