  1. Notes on how stats work in (first MMORPG).

    Really impressed by the fact that there's a cooldown feature in like 1983... and the stat system is pretty neat.

    This game is BRUTAL, though.

    Also, this is kinda roguelike, it's really interesting how it handles that--you can actually survive death and get revived, but there's a chance you permadeath and your character is deleted.
