Dungeon H@cks

I read a print version of this book. Got to know about the book when the author shared one of the bonus sections from the book online. This book tracks the history of Rogue-like games. These are my favorite types of games. I have been playing them for over 20 years. So you know I am biased.

The thing I loved about this book was that I learned a lot about the author of the specific rogue-like game I play called Angband. I have been sharing this guy's story with friends and family. I always see his name in the credits when I play the game. Now I know a little more about him.

This book probably is only of interest to people who are into Rogue-like games. Only the hardcore can appreciate the deep history of Nethack, Rogue, Moria, and Anagband. I did learn a bunch about some even earlier games in the genre.

I want to get another book by this author. Unfortunately it is only available electronically, and I am on a print version kick right now.
