What, would nobody be able to keep themselves entertained on a desert
island, even with their Psion for company?

OK, I'll take the bait:

Nethack, over 20 years old, still going strong

available at: http://www.suttoncourtenay.org.uk/duncan/Nethack.htm

You are lucky! Full moon tonight.

True, and thanks for the link. I especially like the way it runs on
the smaller screens, scrolling the display as necessary. How old is
the latest EPOC version?

I especially like the way it does NOT scroll on my MC218, because it
doesn't need to

Did you actually click the link?
First lines are:
News
(10th January 2004) Nethack 3.4.3 now released.
So, my gess would be that the latest EPOC version is almost 5 years
old.
(note that 3.4.3 is the current Nethack version, see: http://www.nethack.org)

True, which is the behaviour on a standard PC screen or Linux terminal.
Though my eyesight is getting poorer, so I wouldn't mind if it had
bigger text with a scroll option as on the Osaris!

> Did you actually click the link?

I'm afraid I didn't get chance at the time, as I was off line. I've
done so since, however, and found that I had an older version in the
games database. That should be corrected in the next day or so.
