I used to think 'Nethack' was multiplayer over the Internet - the 'Net' bit - but it doesn't appear it is. Is it?

- shabble 16y agoNo, there's limited interaction by means of 'bones' files if you play on the same host. If you die and certain conditions are met, you'll leave your corpse, all your items, and a ghost for another lucky (or unlucky, given that whatever killed you will still be around) adventurer. There do exist some multiplayer roguelikes, Mangband http://www.mangband.org/ http://www.mangband.org/ is probably one of the most well-known/popular.
