商品描述

In 1980, computers were instruments of science and mathematics, military secrets and academia. Stern administrators lorded over sterile university laboratories and stressed one point to the wide-eyed students privileged enough to set foot within them: Computers were not toys.

Defying authority, hackers seized control of monolithic mainframes to create a new breed of computer game: the roguelike, cryptic and tough-as-nails adventures drawn from text-based symbols instead of state-of-the-art 3D graphics.

Despite their visual simplicity, roguelike games captivate thousands of players around the world. From the author of the bestselling Stay Awhile and Listen series, Dungeon Hacks: How NetHack, Angband, and Other Roguelikes Changed the Course of Video Games introduces you to the visionaries behind some of the most popular roguelikes of all time and shows how their creations paved the way for the blockbuster videogames of today--and beyond.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

在1980年，電腦是科學和數學、軍事機密以及學術界的工具。嚴厲的管理者統治著無菌的大学实验室，並向那些有幸踏入其中的驚奇學生強調一點：電腦不是玩具。

挑戰權威，駭客們控制了龐大的主機，創造出一種新型的電腦遊戲：roguelike，這是一種從基於文本的符號而非最先進的3D圖形中汲取靈感的神秘且艱難的冒險遊戲。

儘管視覺上簡單，roguelike遊戲卻吸引了全球成千上萬的玩家。這本由暢銷書《Stay Awhile and Listen》系列的作者撰寫的Dungeon Hacks: How NetHack, Angband, and Other Roguelikes Changed the Course of Video Games，將帶你認識一些歷史上最受歡迎的roguelike背後的先驅，並展示他們的創作如何為今天及未來的熱門電子遊戲鋪平道路。
