A short while ago I was bored yet being an avid fan of nethack this wasn't a problem, I simply jumped on there and started bashing away at some nasties, all was good until suddenly an Idea struck me, what about playing the game as a race that isn't intended to play as, normally polymorph isn't permanent (though those that play enough will know that you can make it so) but I got around that (i'll not say how here as it ma spoil the game for those that don't know much about it) and I then had to decide on what animal to polymorph into.. considering my background and preferences I chose "Fox" *BAMF!* I suddenly became a fox and realised how smart it would have been to drop all my heavy stuff BEFORE the transformation.. after wriggling my way out my mound of equipment I got my bearings.. hmm... i'm in an almost emtpy room.. got my cat following me around.. I look at my stats.. hmm.. 8 strength, not bad for a fox.. all my mental stats are the same.. oh.. got a max of 1 HP. At that point I thought this HP limit could pose a real problem to my lifespan, which it did. I proceeded out of the room in a easterly direction.. down a corridor.. hmm.. it's a deadend, a quick search later revealed the secret passage and I carried on down the path. I heard a noise in the distance behind me, some monsters coming up behind to make a little orange snack of me? Haha! I will be no snack I exclaimed as I barked out a "Force bolt" (I was a wizard before I became a fox and I retained my spells) down the corridor and into the darkness behind me... just as the thought struck me that the bolt may hit my cat. The bolt sped it's way along and destroyed a horrible Newt that my cat had caught trying to sneak up on me, unfortunately it didn't stop there, it smashed into my familiar and killed him, I had a brief sense of sadness before an even more worrying feeling passed over me, killing my cat had angered my god. Completely un-good.

A little shaken by the death of my kitty I paused for a moment before continuing donw the corridor, a few more steps and I came upon a closed door.. damn.. i've got no hands..a force bolt later and the door was no more however it had smashed a potion on the floor behind the door whic mad eme feel dizzy.. today was not my day for force bolts. Into the room I stumbled, still unaccustomed to four legs. My rampant spell flinging had drained me and I spotted a fountain in the corner, there was no imediate threat about so I stopped to take a drink from the fountain..which angered the Snakes living inside it. A seemingly endless stream of snakes poured out of the fountain and destroyed me utterly with their poisonous bites. I died a sad lonely fox... at floor 1.. level 1.. max of 1 HP, Killed by a garter snake.
As you can see, Nethack is one of the best games in the world ever, where else can I do that?

So I started again, again I became a fox and again I began my adventure buy NOT taking off all my heavy stuff.. oh well.. this time I had FOUR HP! oh yeah.. I was king of the world with my mighty four HP. I searched around floor one for a while for goodies to eat and the stairs down to the second floor, killing a few newts and 'yotes when suddenly I levelled up! I gained an extra 7 HP putting me upto 11, surely no mortal creature could slay such an awesome hero as an 11 HP fox? Spurred on I barked out a call for Spadge (My cat) and we went down to level 2. I was immediately set-upon by a goblin and a rat. A few quick bites later and both were no longer alive and I feasted on the corpse of the Goblin as I was feeling a little hungry. Walking down another path I didn't see my own end coming.. the fight with Captain ratty and mister Goblin had dealt me enough damage to put me on only 5 HP and from out of nowhere an Arrow streaked towards me and dealt me another 3! Barking out a quick force bolt into the darkness ahead I heard my attacker die and I carried on to see what it was, I didn't stop to think that he may have friends. as I came upon the body of the goblin that attacked me I was hit in the head by a funny potion which shattered and blinded me.. I attacked randomly in all directions trying desperately to kill whatever assaulted me but it was no good.. I fell to a blow from another goblin .. floor 2, level 2, with a max of 11 HP, Killed by a goblin.
I then gave up and came to play on eve

Still one of the hardest games to play, to this day. I played way back in the early nineties when I think it was just "get the amulet of yendor". Now they make you jump thru so many hoops after that grrr....
Well it's still a fun game to dip into every now and then. I just love how many different ways you can die in that game.

I started with the asci version for dos but now I use the win version with tiles, saves were directly portable in most cases. Still... don't think you'll be getting it easy on the tile version, wait till you reach the "old" levels *Laughs* Enjoy ^^

That was more or less my thoughts when I gave Nethack a go the other day.
