NetHack (DS)
I drank from a fountain, because I’ve just discovered the drink command.
It unleashed a water demon, who killed me dead.
Oh.

Ten iPhone Games To Play In June 2010
about 1 year ago - No comments
Here’s a list of ten games to play during this month. They won’t be the ten best iPhone games – any list without Angry Birds, Doom and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is not a list of the greatest iPhone games – but they’ll be selected based on a mix of quality, novelty and relevance

I keep failing to notice that I’m hungry. I’m not sure if it’s because it doesn’t tell you in portrait mode – which it might well do – or if my stupid, rubbish eyes just aren’t noticing. It’s a problem. Especially when I faint from lack of food and end up being eaten alive by

Bravo! Three cheers for the developer! I tried iNetHack out a long, long time ago and found it a little too fiddly, as I remember. The latest version, though, is much improved, with a far better interface and lovely graphics that combine familiar letters and simbols with nicely-drawn graphics. It’s still NetHack – and as

So, yes, I downloaded iNetHack and started it up. Took me all of ten seconds to realise that I’ve completely forgotten how to play NetHack. I couldn’t even remember how to rename my pet. Or, indeed, myself. (It didn’t seem to ask me for a name when I started, but I could well have missed

Game gave me a human knight today. Nothing very interesting there, I don’t think, but at least I had a pony as a pet, which was new to me. Couldn’t work out if I could ride him, though. Got down to level six, before a milky potion made me hallucinate and fail to fight off

Sometimes, this game is just awful. I was continuing a game from yesterday lunchtime, where I’d got down to level nine in the dungeons, much, much better than normal. I had some good equipment and was doing well. I attacked a floating eye (I think) and suddenly I was dead. The message history just had

Another evening mostly filled with NetHackDS. I was letting the game choose for me, so I ended up playing as a lot of races and classes and got killed in a variety of ways. Like attacking a shopkeeper while hallucinating. Not a good idea. I keep kicking myself if I die and have forgotten to

Today the DS gave me an orcish rogue. I got my best score ever in the DS version – still pitiful, but better – but starved to death on level five of the dungeon. If only my dog hadn’t eaten all those jackal corpses before I could get to them…

This ate up most of my evening yesterday. It really is a very good substitute to the Mac-based version I’ve got. Some things are slightly clunkier, simply due to the nature of the input devices, but it mostly works superbly well. (And it’s nice that it uses the tileset that I’m used to, too.) The

No stupid deaths today, really, just lots of being beaten to death by monsters while wearing cursed gear. Yeah, I know I should identify things before wearing them, but identity scrolls are few and far between in the game. I’ve never managed to uncurse items in NetHack, either. Not because I don’t know how, just
