But he listened to Korn before he played Angband, really? And no reference to Moria? Tsh tsh.
Edit: He listened to Korn at all, really? That was a mistake. -
He started playing Angband when downloading was possible?

Holy shit I didn't even notice that. Being referenced by Randall Munroe is pretty reasonable nerd cred for Angband.Comment

Nerd cred works somewhat symbiotically, but it's true that angband has been around longer.Comment

Haha! Fair enough.
When I started playing in, I think, 1993, there was one terminal at school that was connected to the internet. But you could only use it if you were doing electronics A-level. The rest of us had to pass round floppy disks of Angband in a clandestine fashion.Comment

Downloads are so modern-ish ^^
I got my copy of Moria on public domain disk, bought at a local store. Ah, those days, when the department stores had computer departments with lots of shelves filled with public domain disks.

I found Moria on a 3.5 diskette looking for porn among my brothers diskette collection. He had like, 100 diskettes of random games and nonsense. Looking back at the 20+ years of spent time with roguelikes, I probably would've been better off finding the hidden porn stash. I did manage to find the world's awfulest strip poker game...You are on something strangeComment

hahaha just read xkcd
To be honest I started playing angband just some years before napster and kazaa started
if my old CDs actually could be read I could restore some of my ancient games on permband, vanila, z and my modified version of cthangband
Playing on DOS somehow was so much more comfortable, the windows felt more ordenated and the fonts better than what I can do on windows now.Comment

Nyet? As in the DOS Tetris clone? Wow, I thought I was the only one who remembered that...
edit: oh, when I saw the thread title, I was like, what happened, is the Tolkien estate finally suing? o.OYou read the scroll labeled NOBIMUS UPSCOTI...
