It is really damn annoying that almost all roguelike pages are down. Many ADOM pages still offer version gamma 15 or such.. one page was updated last time at year 1997 :( it is bad, the drakalor tourism is down... yarns offers older versions(that down too?) duh' One time at school when i was playing ADOM one guy asked me what the hell is that, i explained and he laughed and said what horrible looking game, grr... But ill always love Rogue-Likes! i havent even purchased many new games(too much time went on ADOM and those)^^ but still... Its great that TB is making new versions of adom, but why? why make 3 versions at same time(oh yeah, hes making the rp version too:P) i would make only 2 versions at tije so it would be much faster, altough the ADOM deluxe page last updated IIRC 1999, and some one said that he likes adom and soon will be deluxe adom:P well, its nuthing bad about it, i really lok towards JADE!! Oh, and anyone play Unreal World? ye know you live in Finland at that game;D but...Sniff its shareware, anyone seen a crack for it? :D and where can i get that damn DemoWorkshop, or good adom demos?(like how to survive and such) its damn annoying that you die on first few steps coz of stupid encounter, TB should make selectable birth dates too(like raven,candle and those) BTW, Omega is nice but its not being updated for long, and why on earth the creator leaved classes/races out? there is goblins and such, but ye cant be one of those.Grr. Angband is just...Bad Nethack doesnt have much to do and rogue is S I M P L E(yea yea it is ADOMS godfather, blah blah) oh, and moria, is almost like angband. Zangband has too many silly things and the sounds are terrible, TOME is nice, but not much. Dungeon Crawl is just like nethack whit much more classes and races! and better ASCII graphicks, so why people play nethack? oh, well it is nice but gets boring(ADOM will get boring but next day youll be playing it like a crazy:D, atleast i am!) well Enough Deppressive talkies, and sorry again of my bad english! i hope you dont judge me coz i think that Roguelikes have had better days, i hope that in future all people play Roguelikes! all hail Rogue! @ Out! <xxxxo~~~~oxxxx> SWORDCHUK |

You havnt tried playing with polymoph in Net-hack have you @? Its an fine game once you learn how to play it (I can't finish it but I can get the amulet from the wizard, so I'm not a newb) The only reason I stopped playing Net-hack is because I lost 2 characters with full finishing gear and I dont know were they disappeared to:( I have my suspects (My GF wanted attention and I was fighting Lich kings:) |

I dont think Nethack is bad game, it is good. But could have been better. Actually, if i wouldn't have found adom id still be playing Nethack, Though <xxxxo~~~~oxxxx> SWORDCHUK [Edited 1 time, last edit on 1/15/2004 at 08:47 (GMT -5) by @] |

"Could have been better" I know some people who would kill you for saying that. I'm curious how far did you get? There just different games, sort of like comparing Quake and Half-life, you really dont get anywhere as theres always people who will like one over the other for strange reasons. |

Duh, Everyone has his own opinion, I really think it would be better, Like what if nethack would have large wildrennes area, talents, more classes and quests, then maybe i wouldnt be playing Adom anymore :P(Nethack has graphics too, but that isint wery important) Er, if u mean how far i got in the game, my last pc was on lvl 20 IIRC <xxxxo~~~~oxxxx> SWORDCHUK [Edited 1 time, last edit on 1/17/2004 at 03:53 (GMT -5) by @] |

I've admittedly never gotten very far with Nethack, but in my mind it scarcely touches ADOM in terms of complexity, plot and depth of gameplay. That's just my opinion, though! I have friends who say they tried ADOM, gave up on it, and returned to NetHack only to decide it was better in the first place, so it's clearly very much a matter of taste.

ADOM is better than NetHack in so many ways that I go 'afojmigwealfkmasgf'. <:( Fear me not,I'll go nice on you....For now. |

I know its coz of taste but, ADom has wildrennes talents quests many places more races&classes aligment is more important etc. Nethack is kinda all the same hacking in the same dungeon. Dont Kill me, nethack players but thats what i think :P <xxxxo~~~~oxxxx> SWORDCHUK |

The real problem with nethack is inconsistency. It doesn't fit into a good fantasy world. It's more "everything but the kitchen sink", taken to extremes. *coughtouristcough* |

I agree. Always die so fast in Nethack. And Adom is like in your blood. when you start you don't stop. I attratcts people, it's irresistible. And also the best rogue-like game. For the Horde! |

The thing I don't get about ADOM, as compared to Nethack, is its addictiveness in the face of even the most overwhelming frustration. Every time an advanced character died, I'd always tell myself, "Right, that's it, I'm not wasting any more of my time on this." By the very next evening, at the latest, that resolve has completely dissipated, and I'm playing again. I don't get that with Nethack.

I agree with you not Not logged Andor about the weird world thing in Net-hack. ADOM certainly has a much richer back ground:) Trust me polymorphing into a mindflayer and sucking the brains out of your foes (And not having to worry about food while this is happening) is still very cool. Not enough races is not a valid complaint when you have polymorph(All the monsters in the game can now be your race:) This is one of the main things I want in ADOM but I understand it would majorly mess with game balance. Hell I'm an idiot trying to say how good Net-hack is in the ADOM forums anyway:) |

Totally agree Jonesy, I once woke up really early for work and watched about 10 mins of DBZ and that was as much as my frail human body could stand before blood started coming out my eyes. I really dont get it, maybe Im getting harder to amuse in my old age:) |

Your typical dbz episode consists of the following: 10 minute recap of what happened last time. 10 minutes of talking, telling each other what power level they have attained, making jokes that did not survive the translation process, and looking cool. culminating in 5 minutes of fighting, most of which is the same two frames shown in slow motion. Then 5 minutes detailing what will happen in the next episode, so that you don't really have to watch it. |

that adds up to half an hour. dbz episodes are usually 45 minutes (here), you forgot the 15 minutes of commercials ;) Taz: A potion of gain attributes (4s) is lying here.
