I did minecraft until I was doing it in my sleep. I actually felt like I wasn't sleeping because I kept digging, digging, digging... It was mentally disruptive to me more than any other game. Not sure why. I have Wow dreams but they don't dominate my thoughts like minecraft did. It was great fun while it lasted though

I, on the other hand, prefer a command-line system 'cause i'm so hardcore
/north /north *You encounter an [Avatar of the god Set]!*
/cast sheild *sheild spell unavailable*
/csat shield *csat: unknown command*
*[Avatar of Set] beheads [Peasant]*

I've been playing Creeper World while getting my home LAN setup with a linux backup server and upgrading components to support the newer games. Fairly simple game, but entertaining.

ASCII graphics? Watching youtubes to see what makes this fun. Seems to have a following of people.



Well that was fun. Watched hours of tutorials, got into the game, many sleepless nights. I don't think there is a more complex game out there. The programmer has really good ideas. I don't mind the graphics (or lack thereof) but the UI and controls bother me. I wish there were games like that with more polish to them.

There are a couple essentials for Dwarf Fortress, IMHO:

1. Dwarf Therapist. Great mod that gives you much better overview and control of jobs.

2. A tile / graphic mod. I like http://mayday.w.staszic.waw.pl/df.php
