I don't want to make this sound like an advertisement, more of a guide. Just read. Don't report. And please comment.
Alright, so, the game I want to talk about today is called NetHack. It is a computer game that was first released in the 1980s, being one of the first digital games to be released. It as kept its popularity even today, so I thought it would be first mentioning. Here is the story of how I found it. My cousin was on his couch playing his laptop, and he was playing a game. It looked stupid, because it was just a bunch of dots, nothing made since. Eventuallly, I asked him to show me, so I gave it a try. It turned out to be very fun, and I thought it was worth mentioning.
To get it, follow these steps. Tell me if you have any problems.
- Go to nethack.org/. This will take you to NetHack's home page.
- From here, go to the part that says click find and enter. It is in the first paragraph. (nethack.org/common/index.html)
- Now, click on download nethack here. (nethack.org/v343/downloads.html)
- Then, click on the type of computer that you have, and complete the download process. Don't worry, there are no viruses. I promise. Or at least not that I know of.
- Go to files, and downloads. Click on the folder that says nethack. Click on the first one that says 'application'. This is the older, classic version, which I personally find more fun that the newer one with graphics, which comes in the second application.
From there, have fun!
Alright, now, the controls are rather hard. there are many guides, but I like this one.
