Living the dream!
Oh, absolutely....further proof that good, tight gameplay doesn't -- and shouldn't -- depend on some bloated software and graphics. I think I used to play the 'hack' variant on our Unix machines at school.
You die.
My latest run went pretty well. I was playing a Valkarie. (I love when I get the "Valkarie needs food badly!" message). I lost my pet cat early on. I hate cats, so no big deal, but I did want a pet. I got Excalibur again. I found a large dog and tamed it, but as soon as I did, I got attacked by a werewolf. I got infected with lycanthropy and had to drop all of my stuff (wolves are weak and have very few hit points). He was kicking my butt bad, so I summoned a pack of wolves. We beat him. I finally managed to pray for to be cured and got all of my stuff back. I then toured with my pack (it's a pain to keep them together), but eventually, I got attcked by a red naga. One shot and I was dead.
Oh well.
