โฒ 152 โผ What are your favorite "ugly" games? (lemmy.ml) submitted 3 years ago by GrappleHat@lemmy.ml to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml 125 comments fedilink hide all child comments I enjoy Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup played in the terminal with ASCII graphics. I wonder whether there are other hidden gems out there which don't get attention because they are "ugly"?

I never really played that much tbh, my favorite part was reading the sagas of fortresses on the forums. Those were always so unpredictable and hilarious. permalink fedilink source parent
