"This is, however, a really fantastically designed website."

I disagree. At first glance, I thought this was another zombo.com. I'm guessing it's a text adventure, but the site spends more time bragging about its legacy, not explaining what the game is, as if the legendary status of this game should be obvious to us mere mortals. The design is good from an aesthetic point of view, but not from a "getting your point across" view.




Agreed. The web site also completely breaks text search since it's a mix of text and graphics. Just search for "nethack" and you will see your search miss half of the occurrences.

Maybe the author's design sense could be put to good use by improving Nethack's graphics :-)

As indeed it should. It's Nethack! :)


Good point. I was speaking aesthetically.
