This is a long shot because I know there are very VERY few people who have even heard of this game, let alone play it. But would be amazing if I could find someone on here who does. Not for anything special - I’d just feel some sense of accomplishment…

So, any of you ever played or tried to play this game with allegedly the steepest learning curve in video games?

For those of you who are interested - you can download Dwarf Fortress for free from [Bay 12 Games: Index](http://www.bay12games.com) .

Even if you don’t play it - there are some who document their games in diaries. The best form of this is probably [Boatmurdered](http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Boatmurdered/).

It is truly one of the most in-depth games I’ve ever played with even more being added to it with every release. Still in it’s alpha phase - so it could really go somewhere in the next decade or so 😛 It looks old and DOSlike - but it takes so much grunt power to make it run, that it eventually starts going slow on most modern computers due to the amount of detail it has to process…

I could go on all day about this - but I won’t. It’s one of the biggest time sinks I’ve ever come across.

I’ll leave you all alone now. Bye!
