CF: Crossfire Review in Linux Journal

[Rick Tanner <leaf@real-time.com>]

In the Ocotober Issue of Linux Journal, there is a review of Crossfire.

"Crossfire is a different kind of game from the rest of these dungeon
crawlers. The Linux Game Tome (http://happypenguin.org/) describes it as a
cross between NetHack and Gauntlet, and that's actually fairly accurate.
The game is graphical, multi-player (!) and immense.  With over 150
different monsters, about 3000 maps, 19 character classes, about 65
different weapons, dozens of armours, helmets, shields and clothings, and
18 levels of magic available to wizards (with roughly 85 spells at last
count), Crossfire is a whole different world in which you and your friends
can live.  Any number of peole can have clients (even available for Java
and Win32), but the server has to run on a UNIX-based system such as
Linux.  If you're tired of being an @ and want to be an animated graphic
again, here's where you can do it!"
Jason Kroll

There are also reviews of other Rogue-like games like Hack, NetHack,
Moria, Angband, ADOM, and of course the original Rogue game.
