I have no idea if this is already known, but Df is the current featured RPG game at the Great Games Experiment. See it!

That site has not only DF, but another game I'm sure you're all familiar with.

Well?  I don't have all day to say that it looks good, even though it doesn't have to.

Dwarf Fortress would lose some of it's charm if it were taken out of ascii. Realizing that there's arms and legs and dwarf chunks lying all over the place is awesome in ascii, but would be visceral and disgusting in modern-day 3D graphics. I'm rather certain that I'd be completely turned off by that. Watching the dwarves march around nude (Armok-forbid) caked in blood and vomit and grunge, missing a hand or a lung, well... that would be a bit too much.

You can call ol' yellow teeth Etta pretty all you want, she's still an elderly hillbilly with a bad case of foot fungus, even if she's the best when it comes to doing it.

I wonder though when people will stop using old screenshots. Lots of these latest reviews have been recent, but the screenies that they use are way out of date.

Well, it's not excellent but everything works after the Yahoo one.
