[–] kqr2 14y ago ↗ There was a recent discussion on the New York Times article: The Brilliance of Dwarf Fortresshttp://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2793615
[–] tectonic 14y ago ↗ Are there any other games, text-based MUDs, for example, that approach the level of complexity of DF? [–] rcxdude 14y ago ↗ one which springs to mind is nethack, but the game has quite a different nature (much less open-ended). [–] 5hoom 14y ago ↗ Not really the same, but Angband is quite well regarded (seeing as how Nethack has already been mentioned).
