  1. Episode 100 continues with the big 4 first games like Rogue! If only there was some tortured genre name for these types of games…

    Lots of fun correspondence from both Mastodon and emails, including a (slightly edited for time) great voicemail message!

    Come for the LotR chiptunes, stay for the maximum entropy!

  2. Game 7 of our 100th episode special in July will focus on one of the first coffee break length roguelikes: Larn!

    A much shorter game than its contemporaries, the main dungeon is only 10 floors, but features 100 levels of difficulty and ... taxes???

    Still being updated today and celebrating it's 40th anniversary!

  3. @Play: Larn Turns 40
    Larn, created by Noah Morgan, may his name be sung by the bards forever, is a venerable classic roguelike game, from the same era as Moria and the first Hacks. It's always been more obscure than the other games but was still popular, and it's still played today. atsb, aka Gibbon, made a GitHu

  4. Found this wonderful Larn page today. Larn is a Rogue like adventure game. You can play Larn in the browser with an Amiga mode! Very cool. Takes me back to the 90s. 😎 🎉 👍

  5. @jake4480 today I found out on reddit that there is a #newrelease of the mythical rewrite of #Larn #traditionalroguelike ! 0.7.7 of #NLarn is out on the dev's git:
    nlarn.github.io/
    This put a BIG SMILE in my face.

  6. Done a couple Larn runs the last couple days, some better than others. You learn things every time. For example, hell hounds can kill you pretty much instantly. 😂

  7. A screenshot from the other day when I was playing Larn and I felt greedy (after drinking a treasure-revealing potion)

  8. When the ASCII character means different things in different games and it gets confusing (example: the = symbol is a building in Larn, and means a ring in Pocket Rogue).
