Yup.
Once, while I was in College, back when Nethack was a much 'newer' game. It blew the minds of a lot of my friends, as they've never done it. It wasn't even my computer, belonged to someone else, who let me play on it from time to time. But here's a few ideas to help.
1. Save regularly, and make a backup of the save file.
2. Take your time exploring, when you have food to do it.
3. LEVEL YOUR CHARACTER!!!
But pay close attention to #1, it's saved me from some serious mistakes, and it's almost like a free identify for your gear if you die.
Save character and make backup. Restart game with character (-u <playername> option). Die, and have your stuff identified. Copy back save file. Restart game again, use the good stuff, and 'call' the junk stuff something you'll notice.
Just my opinions, you mileage may vary. |
