So first I have to take this "test" - and then, you realize, you have to tell us which character you named your kid after. If it's "Alex" I'm going to laugh. But I can see some of the odder ones making decent names. Like Chani. That's a fine name. Elijah's relatively normal...

1) How long have you been playing DM?
c- Since the '80s

2) How well do you know the dungeon?
a- I still need to use maps

3) Do you have a pet named after a character?
No, but that's a good idea...

4) Before you go to bed at night do you...
b- Log of the website and shut down CSB4Win?

5) When you eat your Sunday dinner, do you:
b- Make sure there is a water flask at the table?

6) What is your most hated monster?
I'm going to say I get 0 points for never making it to either Chaos or the Dragon.

7) Can you finish the game with one character?
a- I can't finish it with 4

8) In a thunder storm do you?
d- Rate each bolt of lightning from Lo to Mon?
I did that once. I did. With BFS. Hello, I can get points for this one!

9) Do you play any of the new dungeons?
a- No
Want to, though. Once I beat the originals.

10) Finally, which one of the following characters is most like you?
c- Sonja: Long hair, agile and a nice gold bra
How the hell do I get more points for being a girl than not for being a girl? Wu Tse is female, anyway. But I'm not a dude so I can't pick that answer even though she's my favorite character.

That's 29 points. I lose points for being absolutely horrid at the game. I know all sorts of random things! I'm a big fan! I've WATCHED it be played a lot! I just, uh, die a whole lot once I get past "choose your door, choose your fate". It's such a scary game.

1)Maybe 1994 on the Atari ST, until it stopped working who knows when, then I found dmweb.free.fr in February, 2005.
2)a
3)no
4)a and half of b
5)I'm not sure I have an answer
6)stone golem(I didn't have an answer from the choices)
7)probably not(I think you missed something for that)
8)b
9)sometimes
10)d definetely

Now I'll count it up when I get some answers to these one's where I couldn't find anything in there.
I'm a boy, unlike my avatar.

This was kinda fun to answer, PaulH.


1) How long have you been playing DM?
c- Since the '80s (well almost..)

2) How well do you know the dungeon?
c- I could probably play it in the dark (my nick is not in vain)

3) Do you have a pet named after a character?
No, but my housemate´s gecko is still called Lizar of Makan.
Furthermore, I could imagine no other names than Linflas and Syra for my offspring-to-be.

4) Before you go to bed at night do you...
d -Take of your armour and extinguish your torch
... but I won´t sleep so good with those mummies stepping down that corridor...

5) When you eat your Sunday dinner, do you:
a- Eat it quick so you can get back to DM

6) What is your most hated monster?
c- None, I dodge them

7) Can you finish the game with one character?
c- Oh yes

8.) In a thunder storm do you?
d- Rate each bolt of lightning from Lo to Mon
... and permanently cast MonOhKathRa myself for a little competition.

9) Do you play any of the new dungeons?
Not yet, I must admit... If I do some time, real life might turn out unfavorable to me. :roll:

10) Finally, which one of the following characters is most like you?
d- Gothmog: Mysterious with red eyes from playing DM all night


These are realistic results I guess.


PS: Rico Len, as a father... you wouldn´t want Sonja to be a She Devil too, would you? ;)
