Maybe I should use this thread as an opportunity to actually get further than Minetown...
Likewise. Sokoban was the furtherest I got, playing a valkyrie wielding excalibur (for the first time as well). The potion and scroll randomisation always kicks my rear end hard - I think I ended up pushing a rock the wrong way and just gave up then and there.

Then again, I made it through the doom roguelike (with the aid of a nuke) and finally beat spelunky after about 600-700 deaths. Maybe I should give nethack another shot soon.

[edit]I guess it didn't help that I almost always played an archaeologist or a rogue - but archaeologists and throwing knives are just so awesome.
