OR Just walls and such. :I loaded the font into FED and it looked just like a regular font. It just does walls and such. No colors or special graphics. :How do i get my little dog to follow me downstairs, I don't want him to get :lost. (He's followed me ONCE) Just make sure you're dog is next to you when you go downstairs... Or use a leash. :All in all the BEST "Hack/Slash" i've seen. : :Moria - Is this the Worst one out there or what? : When ya have to haggle over a 2 gp biscut it's silly. You only have to haggle over the item the first time you purchase it. After you have bought one from a store, the price is set... :Also there seems to be 2 versions out, 1 with Graphics and 1 with "ascii" :what's the Difference? Ie. is one Newer/faster ect... The newest version I know of is called Moria 3.0, and it's the one with color graphics and such. Very nice, although just when it starts getting real good, you kill the Balrog and win. :-( :The game be a lot better if it wasen't soo deadly. :and ya diden't have to rerun the prog when ya die. : :omega - ICKKKKKKKY, graphics are all "white" and tiny, and DEADLY i've : gotten out of the city once. and The Inventory idea is inovative : and lame. : :Has anyone gotten ANYWHERE on this one? I've finished omega, as an overall winner. I really liked this one, although the inventory stuff can be cumbersome. As a suggestion, find the oracle (inside Rampart) and follow her suggestions, you'll find it's a bit easier this way. :------------ :What other games along these games are out there? :I know LARN is out there, but i can't find it. :(It was the best Graphic wise of any of them) : :Well Just wanting some good cheap Fun. Larn, Hack and HackLite are all available from The Software Distillery. There have been a number of versions of almost all these games, but you should be able to find fairly current versions on each pretty easily. All The Software Distillery games have the nice color fonts, as does Moria. NetHack and Omega use custom fonts, but no color. :- :yorkw@stable.ecn.purdue.edu Willis F York :~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sig? I dont' need No Stinking :This Space For Rent....
