| Phrancheyez said: Ever heard of MajorMUD? It's text-based...but it's almost exactly what you just described, only you don't stay dead..and it's probably one of the oldest RPG's to date. |
All of these are derivatives from the same games that were born in the early 80's (even so far as late 70's?).
I picked angband because it's one of the most polished and purer rpg. Some variants like nethack mix things up, etc.
Besides, a MUD is a multiuser game, angband ain't. It's a straight solo challenge.
edit: oh yeah, ADOM is good, albeit less classical. It's also sorta stalled, the coder is now making a java-based version so the game's sorta frozen.
