<You die...>
As a long-time rogue (since it was first available
on a PDP-11/70 here - version 3.6), I anxiously awaited HACK 1.0.2, expecting
that it would supplant rogue in my gaming universe.
So far, it really hasn't. First of all, the "human interface" isn't as
nice as, say, the one Advanced Rogue 4.4 has - I can't say "Tell me
what item n is" as I could with the 'I' command in advanced rogue. I must
either know the class of the item or look at the whole list.
Further, I have a lot of difficulty in the shops - at Friendly Fiend's I could
always ask the price of something.
In the shops in Hack I can't, although I grant
there may be a way to do this I haven't figured out yet.
Lastly, since I've only played the Knight or the Tourist, my experience
is limited, but the above command deficiencies will stand across any
character class. Perhaps the HACK authors can improve the "human interface" in
a future release.
