I want to be able to talk about the genius that is this game with my fellow shroomerites! If anyone plays it, I will answer any and all questions you have about it to help you as best I can.
I say that because it is challenging. I have never beaten it and I've been playing almost 2 years now pretty steadily. But it is SO rewarding; so infinitely interesting.
The level of strategy you use, along with the depth (you can do LOTS of things) makes for ever interesting gameplay. Anything can happen in nethack 
Please? its free

The best free mmorpg is neverwinter.
me and my little sister use to play it constantly. If anyone plays ill join in, you can use microphone.
Its basically just free world of warcraft. I dont really like playing video games and only really play it because of my little sister, but it is the best online game you can play. Just look at it.
Or when I was a kid knight online was good.

I'm honestly pretty done with MMO's at the moment. Especially ones similar to WoW

interesting. I've played a couple other rogue-like games and didn't like them as much as nethack. Maybe that one will be better!
Since I'm trying to get people to try my suggestion maybe I'll give yours a try in the meantime

oh, and if you're familiar with nethack. You should know, they have a newer version of the game called "Slash 'em," which is even more in depth, with more side dungeons and artifacts and all kinds of stuff.

Right? I've never played it myself, but the guy who showed me nethack has and told me a lot about it.
If I ever beat nethack, I will play slash 'em is what I tell myself.
How far have you gotten in nethack? with or without cheating. Farthest I got without cheating (wiki doesn't count as cheating) was right past the castle. Died in the underworld

It takes a lot of practice. A lot of strategy and getting familiar with the controls/ learning all the actions.
I know a lot about the game if you ever have questions that can't be answered with the wiki

Doesn't look that great honestly. It looks more...fantaical than anything. I put 700 hours on oblivion but that game had the content to do so. This game looks rather stale.

its not really about the looks, i think its the masochistic nature of the game hooks most people, its pretty much winnable for alot of people

Dungeon Crawl and Nethack share a lot of the same things.
I just personally believe that Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup feels more complete.
And it's hard as fucking hell... oh dear lordy me.
I do not think I've made it past lvl 17 - dungeon 16
It's rediculously tough, but it has SO many classes and races.
no game is ever the same.

This game doesn't run out of content for me. Every game is different, and I'll never ever beat it

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!
