Goodbye atler63 the Healer...
You died in The Dungeons of Doom on dungeon level 3 with 207 points, and 1065 pieces of gold, after 400 moves. You were level 1 with a maximum of 13 hit points when you died. -
I have yet to take the game serious. Previous game was in a span of a few weeks I was just barely playing / browsing on the computer. I'll update when I get a bit further.

you basically have a simple graphic of rooms and hallways. Your character is represented by a "@" and you kill monsters with your abilities (based on class) most of the game is just going room to room, strategically dealing with whatever you encounter.
You will often need to find a closet or doored room where you can rest, because it is veryyy easy to die in this game. So you need every HP. Do not get frustrated if you die often, you simply need to re-think how you approach combat
In that simplicity, there is strength. There is a humongous diverse roster of monsters that are randomly generated, and most items are random as well.
There are a tonnn of commands. Just to open a door, you have the option to either open it normally, kick it down, search it for traps, or attempt to pick the lock. You can pretty much do anything, you just need to look at the control layout and find the action, because EVERY SINGLE KEY DOES SOMETHING

Just look at the site.... It's not a MUD, it's single player. no graphics. not text based. It's ASCII / character based to form a rough idea of graphics.
However there is a redone version with skins/color graphics that someone did.

glad to see you're playing it 
I'll give you a little advice since you don't appear to be getting too far. Mainly because once you get to a more intermediate skill level is when it REALLY gets fun! (I have to this day, only gotten to the halfway point before dying. the fun literally never ends!)
You must treat every enemy like it could kill you. Don't just jam the attack button. The best combat strategy is to get monsters in hallways, so that you only have to fight one at a time. If you have ranged weapons, use them. Even just throwing daggers makes a huge difference, especially as weaker classes.
Also, use doors to your advantage, you can close and sometimes lock them. if you get injured, GO BACK UP A FLOOR AND REST.
Also, read about the game. There is an excellent wiki about it. Almost every creature is unique in a useful way. Many creatures are useful to eat, as they can give you bonuses, while others are poisonous.
Never punch floating eyes!! but always eat floating eye corpses.
The best class for beginners is valkyrie. If you can get a valkyrie to level 5, and find a fountain, you may turn your longsword into a powerful magic sword by dipping it in a fountain. (it may take several dips, but it works without fail) To dip something, you type #dip
typing the # sign and then a word is the method of doing many actions not covered with the controls

Yes, I'm pretty sure they keep their site updated with versions for new operating systems.
I believe windows 7 was even the one I started playing on, so i can say 99% sure it would work!
