JUST How I Roll

We all know I’m a huge fan of nethack preferring to roll on the public alt.org server. Tho I had a port for my Windows phone, and now one for my Droid.

Tam just dropped this Bit of Geekery

And this completely baffled me and I was ready to ignore it and go back to playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare on my Nintendo DS when it hit me: All this is, is a text-adventure first-person-shooter. Zork meets Counterstrike.

Heh, Code it and I will play it! And for those wanting to get their text-only RPG shooting on there is of course Slash’em which IMHO is a perfectly good port of nethack ruined with extra bullshit. But Doom Rogue-Like is oodles of fun. Also linked on that page is This Thing of Beauty I have yet to play. Aliens Rogue-like??? Are you Serious? Did somebody make this JUST FOR ME????

For those not aware I had a copy of Aliens on VHS that I actually killed from watching. I estimate that I’ve seen this film (at least in its theatrical release) in excess of 100 times. (The bulk of this was a a year in Highschool where I’d come home from School and watch the film to unwind before doing my homework. Every day for a few months adds up pretty fast…and I’m not afraid to pop in my Special Edition Director’s cut, but I’m not as ravenous these days as I’ve essentially memorized the film).

I know what game I’m gonna play tonight!

BTW it brings This comic to mind. 🙂
