Dwarf Fortress in Spiegel Online
« on: August 03, 2010, 01:43:47 am »
Hello,

Dwarf Fortress is mentioned in an article about free retro indie-games on german online magazine "Spiegel Online": Spiel mit mir, Pixelboy. Google Translate version of the DF part. Sadly it doesn't mention "Losing is fun".

A very short article. Short but strong though. Like it.

Yes, the dwarf fortress paragraphs are only one seventh of the whole article. ;)

That's very proper somehow.  ;)

The word spreads through passageways under the bright cities, and crowded streets. Toady has tapped into true subterranean power!

Cool to see something in my native language ^^ (Really it's the first time I see something about it in german)
Spiegel online is a pretty popular site. Maybe we get some more members (and donators, yay!)
