How many ADOM veterans do we have in the house?

For those of you who may not know, ADOM, short for "Ancient Domains of Mystery", is a ridiculously, dangerously addictive little DOS game falling under the genre of "Roguelike." It has a massive cult following. I've been playing ADOM since 1996, and I've only beat the game once. It's only one character, and it's strictly top-down and Dos (ASCII) graphics interface, but it's a masterpiece in spartan design and in diabolically designed dungeons. Character development is pretty extensive for a DOS game, with 21 classes and I forget how many races, about 30 skills, and the ability to play good (law) or evil (chaos).

Just curious as to how many others have played this game? Did it grab you, too?
