Tangential: I wonder how well a game like Nethack would work as a Facebook game. The game could Facebook broadcast if a player ascends, dies after passing a certain (hard to reach) milestone, gets a high score or achieves an account-first...<p>I guess it probably would only appeal to whatever few people are into social media and are willing to play ASCII games. But it would be nice to see a real game--not to mention an important, venerable one--show up in my newsfeed all the time, instead of Farmville, Mafia Wars, that chef game with those obnoxious over-cute chibis... (Yeah, I know you can block them, I'm just lazy...)
