Dwarf Fortress is so much fun. It's complex enough to warrant lots of replay, and really lets you imagine and enjoy the world-gen for the fortress you're piloting.
Unless you're playing the steam version, it also really scratches the ASCII itch. Reminds me of the good old days with nethack, alphaman, zzt, megazeux and the like.... but as a game with modern levels of depth and scope.
Plus there's all sorts of cool thoughts there about what constitutes an emergent story, or whether this is a lower-resolution version of 'the simulation' in which many people think we live.
Has anyone here played df? Any good stories of victory... or "fun!" ?

I just barely stuck a toe into it. Reading/listening up on how to play before diving in deep.
