Dwarf Fortress

Has anyone else tried this?

It's partly an old-style Roguelike game, using an ASCII interface throughout, but it's really a city-builder.

It's not for those who demand either instant gratification or fancy graphics from their video games, but some of you might find it interesting. Those of you who played or still play The Settlers will catch on to the basic ideas very quickly.

I think that pg may have tried it, but can't remember when.

Yeah it's quite a great game, and still being developed at a good pace. The feature list that is planned is amazing. No one here seems to care about it though. ;/ I'm still playing it.

Yeah, I'm sure it's fun but speaking personally with so many proper games to play I doubt I'll get around to joining you in an ascii game.
