[Simh] NetHack game

[Tim Stark]

Folks,



I noticed your discussion about adventures and others. I now remember
role-playing games for VAX and Unix machines. It called NetHack game.



I quickly googled and found it.



http://www.nethack.org

https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack - repository for development.



There are other games - larn, moria, imoria, umoria, hack and rogue.

rogue was fun.
I also have an old vax game like rogue, something about a crown.
I really need to scan these printouts in... 😝

There are other games ? larn, moria, imoria, umoria, hack and rogue.

All of those exist today. I see they are all available as packages on
FreeBSD here, for example.

I think most of these are also available on the OpenVMS Hobbyist V1 CD-ROM. The problem being, you need access to the CD-ROM.

My personal favorite is DND. I have it running on PDXVAX, which is accessible via HECnet.

If you like Larn, try Ularn. More levels, and a few mods to game play
(the Eye of Larn isn't just a treasure anymore!)
