Dwarf Fortress Released on Steam
Dwarf Fortress, the greatest simulation ever created, is now available on Steam: Dwarf Fortress.When I played the ASCII version, I butted my head against the wall for a while, and then there was this moment where the door opened and I was seeing this incredible, secret world that had been created just for me. It truly captures all the magical things that computer games can do for our imagination, and is the essence of why we love them so much.
I'm going to write up my impressions of the new version (now with sprite graphics and a tutorial) as soon as I have a few hours of playtime. In the meantime, though, never has a game purchase been so richly deserved.
