Picture Nethack.

Set on a space station (i.e. aliens, guns).

With a better UI (especially the pared-down command set and enhanced inventory screen).

Some nice features are added, such as monsters that fight each other.

But still text-only.

And still addictive.

That's Xenocide, still under development but coming along nicely.

They sure support a weird set of platforms.. linux (x86, arm and sparc), DOS, and Win32. WTF? Why don't they just open source it and let people compile it themselves?

No idea.

It certainly seems like the kind of game that would be open source.

At least it's free as in beer.

No more comments! Either someone has violated Godwin's Law, I'm tired of the discussion or, most likely, the ten-week window has closed. You can, however, contact me through email.
