This page isn't here quite yet, but I'm hopeing to have much appraisal of the various version of it.
I also plan of having my own comical death page.
My praise for this game knows no bounds; it's fun, it's engaging, it's OPEN SOURCE! Almost. and it's huge, this thing just keeps on going forever down there. And it has a cool legacy.
I plan on having some guides to the different classes in slash:
The Necromancer a fun and heathly alternitive
The Barbarian The fine art of bashing
The Monk Not just making beer anymore.
Gnomes A proud and noble race.
Maybe a list of spoilers. Nothing with the story, just fun things to do, like wielding corpses and such.
definatly going to have links a plenty. In fact:
NetHack links:
Recent updates as of 7-7-02
Easy Explanation with a funney comic in there.
Comparisons Basicly bashing Diablo, with some nice side dishes.
History of history Serious history lesson here. Probably from a guy who started it.
Stories Big collection of stories about rouge. (the OLD one)
Play Rouge If nothing else, try this. It's a java based version of Rouge.
Ali's Page This page will get you to SLASH'EM, a very cool offshoot of nethack. It also has a hell of a lot of links.
Currently my MAIN version of play is on slash'em, or slam684w as the file goes. I've gotten as far down lvl 17. I believe the monks are a bit too powerful, that or I just work well with them.
The beggining of a list of all the games I know of that fall under the rouge-like genre:
Rouge [duh]
hack [duh]
NetHack and all varients [also a duh]
Azure Dreams- an odd poikemon clone
Dark Cloud 1&2
Diablo 1&2- cheap knock-offs that look nice
"Brand New Quest"- That side game from Ergheiz.
Tower of Darkness- Tom's side-game
Tolkeinequse Moria- just heard of it
I'll get things like actual content and actual linking capabilities up as I feel like it. Goto nethack.org for the lasted as of june 20th 2002.
