Surely DF is far from "unsung"? I'd even describe DF as being downright notorious.
I really do wonder what kind of criterion people generally use to describe something as "obscure", "unsung" and such, since I find myself rarely agreeing.
- thecatspaw 8y agoIt might be notorious in hacker circles, and retro gamers. If you ask people outside of those groups most will not even have heard the name
- Smithalicious 8y agoIt is notorious, or at least quite well known, among anyone I'd consider to be part of "internet culture". Also I'm not sure why DF would be particularly notorious to retro gamers, since it is not a retro game.
- MagnumOpus 8y agoThe UI of DF is same as the UI of the 40-year-old Roguelike games. Hence retro. And hence unknown to 99%+ of gamers.
