uhm i admit i am too a regulare ascii nethack player :D but in the case
of xconq i use the tcl/tk interface :D
and i have allways up to date machines, since i do number crunching for
my living.... which doesn't mean i have unlimited ressources, since the

several times the killing of some xconq games for outrunning
ressources...
