Ahahah. Just magical. I started playing nethack when I was... 13 maybe? In the pre-internet era; maybe BBS's were around. Didn't beat it until I was 17 (lot of off and on there obviously, I wasn't playing constantly), as an (redacted). This was 3.0j I believe, so before (redacted) existed and I was (redacteding) (redeacted) and a (redacted) like no tomorrow which you can't do now. So yes I beat Nethack without spoilers after about 4 years. Sorry this story was going to be a lot more exciting but I realized just by saying what I had done I'd be spoiling things. Then I went to university, got newsgroup access, found rgrn, and beat it with all classes.

Uh the original Rogue (populizer of the 'roguelike keyset' in these kind of games) was created and published around 1980. Linus Torvalds would have been about 11 years at the time.VI was originally published in 76, when Linus was 7. Bill Joy is probably the guy you want to direct your ire to.

Air is lava! posted:Aparently a rothe is some kind of cave bison from DnD. Weird, I would have bet my left nut it was those monster the men from the east ride in LOTR but I can't find a single thing backing that up. Apparently they were introduced in the Fiend Folio way back in 1981 which is certainly timely enough to get into nethack. I even had that book.
