This takes me back! In my final year of primary school I spent countless hours at a friend’s house playing this together (on his state of the art 100MHz 486 with a CD-ROM drive). We barely understood English and most of the puns and jokes went way over our head. I’ll never forget the vibe of that game and I have never played anything that comes close since. I wish I could play it again for the first time.
I recently bought a game which I (and friends) implemented versions of in high school... in the early 80s. :-)
It was my first computer game back in the early 90s! I wish I knew there were competitions around it.
It used to come in floppy disk & we used to stay long in computer lab in the evenings to play this game. Those were good old days!
I saw this site YEARSSS ago, brings back memories of bunking class to play games xDreally cool!
Oh wow! Didn’t expect to see this piece of my childhood on the front page!I used to spend hours on telnet playing this game with my friend. What a fun blast to the past!
Millennial here - I played this as a teenager on our ancient-for-the-time family PC.
Awesome! I played while it was very popular on AOL and for a few years after they started charging for it.
Some of my friends used it to play older lan games
It's so nice for me to read this and be able to relate. I probably wouldn't be working as a software developer today if I hadn't spent those countless hours as a kid hacking the game, setting up (d2jsp) bots, fiddling to run multiple instances on the same computer, scripting together bot detection evasion patterns etc etc.Recently installed it again during lockdown after not playing for a good 10 years. Still has some 20k+ people online at times. Really solid game.
