Dwarf Fortress

[supermouse]

Am I a lone aficionado, or one of many digging deep, killing kittens, smoothing out boulders for the wagons, seeing off the goblin hordes and wondering where the elves get all that wood if they don't chop down trees? Are there others gradually building up a knowledge of mineralogy who know what a catsplosion is and why a small cliff is desirable?

I play with the basic ASCII. No fancy graphics for me, no sirree. It's a complicated computationally-expensive database, I like it to look like one...

I think you and I have a common friend - DC ?

Guh. I miss the days of good ASCII games. First one I played was on a friend's computer and I was hoooooked.

We do!

Dwarf Fortress is a modern game with an Ascii interface. The actual engine is pretty intensive. So is the bookkeeping and the learning curve is steep.

It's so addictive.
