Nethack: The Greatest Game You Will Ever Play

I love the challenge of the early game, but more than one character has died to bit rot once I've got a full ascension kit and something drags me away.

It's just so tiring to slog through the last levels, when there are 80 messages about monsters missing to read every turn and the crazy summoners have you surrounded with 800 weak monsters. Sure, you can wipe the floor with them for the most part, but you die if you get a little too careless with your HP.

That said, I might just roll up another of my favorite neutral human wizards for fun. Mindflayer meat is just so delicious....
