In Earth B, Moore's Law has progressed just as it has in our own, so that most computers now have multi-gigahertz processors. In Earth B, there never was a revolution in computer graphics, all games are ASCII and VGA was never invented. I deduce this from its main characteristics, and I think can very clearly describe the alternative universe it came from-let us call it "Earth B." Clearly, no one in his right mind would have created it in our own.

I'm not sure I can offer higher praise.Īnd yet-it is also frustratingly difficult to get into, and utterly obtuse in terms of its UI.ĭwarf Fortress is a game from an alternate universe.

I mean "amazing" at the level of Sim City and Civilization, as amazing to encounter today as they were when first released.
