A few of my favorite things.
And now, ComicHack Presents: Other Things From the 80s.
Hosted by Karl the Shopkeeper.
We all know NetHack was born in 1985 (or at least, we all should). But
what happened to the rest of the stuff from the 80s? Why didn't it
survive into 2002? Well, it did!

to put them.

NetHack hardly has a monopoly on ancient 80s things - after all, other
games still have to present some cheese material. We gave all the music
to ADOM.
