Other games?

[zasvid]

I play multiplayer StarCraft or Thief series from time to time. Lately I've got totally hooked on ADOM, which just prooves that roguelikes > other video games.

Other than that, I play volleyball semi-regularly.

Lately, I've been playing mafia, a kind of socializing campfire game.

I play it as werewolf on the 2+2 forums. Good stuff.

I'm surprised there aren't more games similar to Angband being discussed in this thread though, heh.

KoL update: I ascended a few days ago and find it rather boring to repeat it all again with only minor help (you can use items from previous ascensions and retain one skill, but mostly, actually, you can't due to lack of power or MP).

I was thinking more non-roguelike stuff, but... Huge devotee of Nethack, although burned out on it at the moment, have only two classes I've never ascended. Had long on and off romances with ADOM and Crawl, DoomRL is good fun for half an hour, and Dwarf Fortress is fascinating when I'm on a PC with the power to handle it.

<edit> Oh, one game I did forget to mention... Legend of the Green Dragon, at http://lotgd.net/. Based on the old old Telnet game Legend of the Red Dragon, now web-based, and jolly good fun.

I found that donating to the game and receiving a Mr. Accessory made a big difference in the early levels; you make that one of the first things you pull after ascending, and +15 to all stats improves both what you can wear and how many HP/MP you have.

(I actually have three Mr. As, which makes a fairly huge difference in the early levels. What can I say, I'm lazy.)

A game I'm watching as it develops, and probalby will borrow features from for E-Team, is Warp Rogue. It still feels a bit sparse as the developer adds features, and some graphics would be nice, but it's getting there.

I play Dota =)

I have been a big fan of the "Heroes of Might & Magic" series from the very beginning in 1994. So I am still playing the new "Heroes of Might & Magic V" with the addon "Hammers of Fate" and can't await the forthcoming next addon "Tribes of the East".
I am also playing Oblivion with addons as I played Morrowind for a very long time.
Every now and then I start a game of "Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic" or "Civilization IV".

By the way, two games that I think have a clear Angband influence, even if it's not immediately obvious: La Pucelle and Disgaea.

I played Nethack for a long time before learning about Angband.
Nethack, Angband, and Kingdom of Loathing, is a pretty much complete list of computers games I play nowadays (for the past few years).
I tried Crawl. It seemed cool, but I figured I'd win Nethack again (which I've only won once), and win at Angband at least once before I got into another roguelike game.

I'm also been burned out for Nethack for about the past year or so, both games have their advantages, but the main thing for me is that in Nethack you have to think a lot more and be super careful, and in Angband you don't have to think quite as much, so it's more relaxing to play.

Nethack. :lol:

At the moment I'm playing DROD (Deadly Rooms of Death). It's a puzzle game with some story possibilities and lots of user-created puzzles.

And Eytan Zweig. We want him back!

After several years off, I've got seriously back into VGA Planets in the past year or two (v3, of course) - largely due to the advent of PHost4. Other games I'm about to play as soon as I stop playing VGAP or *band for one minute are Dominions 3 and Sword of the Stars.

[ekolis]

Ah, you are the same Magnate from the Shrapnel forums? I thought the name sounded familiar...
