I fear downloading this may turn out to be a rather bad idea. Thank you. Oh my, frog knows how many hours of my teenaged life I spent playing Angband.

It flickers up for a brief moment, then shows the username-password dialog. So cool. :P

Sure, the graphics might be lacking and the sound is non-existant, but the gameplay is great and non-repetitive. Well, not too repetitive at any rate. Actually some of the time you feel like you're going through the motions, but that's not *all* of the time. The point stands - Angband is the crowning achievement of gaming. Everything before was just leading up to it, and everything after is just momentum, slowly dying down. How can anything be better than perfection?

I don't have Mac OSX, so I will refrain from downloading it, but didn't you aught to have a link to the angband from your main ridiculousfish.com page? You do for Hex fiend.... And try to post a bit more regularly. James Fish,

I'm afraid to use my computer now, because it would kill the poor level 19 Human Ranger that the bot has been working on for hours and hours.
