The sci-fi graphical rogue-like <a href="http://www-unix.oit.umass.edu/~jvight/mirror/3059/">3059</a> has been updated to <A href="http://www-unix.oit.umass.edu/%7Ejvight/mirror/3059/download.html">version 3.6</a>. Of course, the graphics aren't that nifty, but they're not ASCII for those who are scared off by letters representing things. Anyway, here's the updated log:
<br>
<ul><li>Fixed a bug that caused some items to say they were questing items when they really weren't
<br>
<li>Generally reduced items' skill-boosting amounts
<br>
<li>Added a 'Drop All' option in your inventory so you can organize your items
<br>
<li>Normalized the healing ETUs; now they all last about the same time per application
<br>
<li>Now all ETUs have better range
<br>
<li>Pistol/cannon/rifle/laser weapons have much better range, so now you can shoot enemies from a distance -- however, shooting slows down your movement speed, and ranged weapons generally do less damage than melee weapons
<br>
<li>Terrain destruction is now fixed at 8% health penalty for failed attempts
<br>
<li>Other minor balancing adjustments (e.g. item prices)</ul>
<br>
So, the whole concept of quest item versus normal item. Remember the good old days when you couldn't tell the difference between the two? And it wasn't much of a problem?

I think I'd rather have ASCII.

I'm all for skill based character systems, but how on Earth do you find a use for separate computer engineering, hacking and programming skills in an RPG?

In the amazing year 3059 if you're not a hacker or computer engineer or a programmer, you are nothing.

Well, sure. The nice thing with the tiled graphics they already have is that I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult to add better graphics at some later point.

I tried this game several versions back and was not impressed. However, I downloaded this version on a whim and soon found myself engrossed in it. So far as I know, this is the first real-time roguelike, an aspect which definitely takes some getting used to. I recommend you at least try this if you're into rogulikes
