Hello


What would people say are the best dungeon crawl Nethack type games for the Pandora ?

Hello


Thanks but Dungeon Crawl Stone soup does not work and I really do not want


to run dosbox to play nethack, or is it real easy to do ?

Rogue 1.49 by Epyx (DOS) in DosBox


Epyx Rogue is my favorite dungeon crawler:


I know, blasphemy since Pandora is Linux native, but this is the one I grew up with.


And it is a very good and highly addictive game.

For those who watched the clip at ~1:00 the ">" key is to go down stairs.

Wow - nobody mentioned Vulture's Eye?


Vulture's Eye is an isometric graphical interface for Nethack. It was (is?) in the games section of the official apps.

It doesn't show on the repo... and I rarely check elsewhere.

If it is Vultures Eye you are after, it is here - http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/pandora.cgi?0,0,0,0,26,400

Shiren the Wanderer on SNES9x... the DS version is superior in my mind... except you cannot play it on the pandora. Any rogue player worth their salt should at least give this one a try. Even after you beat it there is a crazy amount of post game content to dig into.


Persoanlly it hit all the right notes that years of throwing myself at nethack and remaining largely unspoiled beat me down. I still love nethack, but Shiren just edges it out for me.


EDIT... here is to hoping that Asuka on the dreamcast will be playable for us some day.

sorry for the extra post but do yourself another favor and check out Dungeon Hack for dosbox... it plays brilliantly with the touch screen.
