I fire it up for some nostalgia, and die three steps into the fucking dungeon.  Fuck poisoned daggers.

You wanted to play Final Fantasy VI and fired up Nethack instead? Serves you right, dork.

Well, if it makes you feel better I had a barbarian named "Meat" that died because he drank every potion he found.

Apparently your nostalgia didn't include the gang-rape of every one of your characters for which Nethack is notorious.

At least you didn't spend 2 hours getting way down in the dungeon only to starve to death after puking up a dead gnome.

You should play a Wizard!  In Wizard mode!

I preferred angband. The threat balance on some of the early ones was a little too arbitrary.

You took 162 turns for three steps?  At least it isn't as bad as getting hit by a rolling boulder trap one step off the level 1 up stairs.

I have no idea what this is, but it seems you got owned and posted it. That makes me chuckle.

Mmmm nethack.... permadeath, starving locked by a boulder placed by yourself, food poisoning + a million of other ridiculous ways to die.... Just add shiney, multiplayer PvP with no limits, full-looting, market it in the right places and you got the MMOBDSMG niche covered.

Wouldn't work as well in a real-time environment. You can think about a million possible solutions to the million ridiculous ways to die, ponder which one could work. But only if the game gives you time for that.
