Im playing it right now... Its called Dwarf Fortress, and its crazy fun. Its hilarious and very descriptive... the only thing is that the graphics... well there arent any basically. And it takes a few hours/ tries to understand whats going on.

Could you play a game that looked absolutly terrible, but was really great once you got used to it?

I would try anything old-school. It looks decent enough to play.

Its called a Roguelike... theres tons of games like them. They just use letters and symbols to represent things. In that picture there is a dwarf just leaving from a drinking well, and getting something to eat from a feed stockpile :)

I can link the site to get it from if anyone is interested. Youll NEED the wiki thats written up about it though

That would actually be pretty awesome. But you need a keyboard for all the commands you have to give :(

OK, well for anyone willing to try you can get it here; DWARF FORTRESS

Once you start playing you will hit these stages in order... Mild interest- Confusion-Experimentation-Enjoyment... Addiction. Anyone with questions can ask here or PM me
