They don’t make them like this anymore

To get an idea of the game I’ve been working on, look for ZAngband (I think it’s on Sourceforge). Try it out. Ignore the 1980s style “graphics” and get a feel for the gameplay. Try a Warrior first, move on to spellcasters later. Expect to die a lot. By the time you have a spellcaster that gets into spellbook 2, you should have a good idea of whether you’re interested in working on this type of game. I’ve been playing ZAngband (and its relatives) for over 2 decades. I have played more games of ZAng (and logged more time in it) than of any other
computer game, including Solitaire. I’ve only beaten it twice. Yes, it’s that hard.
