A conversation broke out here at the geeky side of the office, about old Roguelike games. I don’t remember the name of the first ascii based one I played nor even what year I first played one, but it had to be in the mid 80s.  Every few years something will click in my head and I have to get my rogue-fix. One of these very same urges had stuck me earlier this week, so it was coincidence that this topic came up. One of the people I work with brought up a game he claims

“This is better than Rogue by about 100x, and is better than any other rogue-like I’ve played. Hack and NetHack don’t even come within 1% of how good this game is. I’ve been playing for eight years I Still am…”

So this weekend I am going to give Adom a try.
