So just to illustrate how it can go, it isn't always instant death.
  It is usually necessary to get a few levels down quickly to get enough 
food.

New game, small room. Blank walls.
The rng gods did not smile.
It took so long to (s)earch and find any door and it was so tough to 
(k)ick in that the character starved to death , level 1, room 1, 0 points

For now I am (re)finding that more interesting than wow , though I do 
log in to give people a bling drop and check the ah bankers.

I used to play a different version so nethack has a few changes but is 
much the same. Most people would probably find it crushingly boring and 
so old, it was old long before what is retro was thought of..
I don't know if that means I have an overactive imagination, or no 
imagination at all.
