Adventurer mode is SO FUN though.
I wish you had the option to throw enemies you were wrestling; grab a live child and shoulder-throw them at a charging guard... :D

I believe you can but I dunno how.

You can't, I've taken a lot of time playing with wrestling, closest thing is throwing body parts at people, pelting someone with a series of severed heads is amusing, especially when it severs their head.

Surprised no ones mentioned any of the graphics packs. All though playing in ANSII might be retro, the game definatly plays better with some cool sprites. I think there's some medieval ones around that look really nice.

THERE WE GO, that was the one I was think about. Actually, I've never had a control problem on that one. ....except when I play on a laptop with the weird, overlayed keyboard. *Cringes* NEVER TRY THAT EVER.

Only if you're unable to learn the ASCII.
The tilesets are strange as hell once you learn the ASCII.
Which is not hard to do.

You can throw opposing creatures while wrestling if you have a grip on them, same way you do everything else in wrestling.
As I understand you have to be RIDICULOUSLY strong to get any distance out of it, but I'm pretty sure you do in reality, too, so it works out.

Actually we did. Couple of times. But it was on page 8 or 9 :P But yeah Mike maydays is the best one.
Also if it ♥♥♥♥ with steering you can modify the init files

That's happened to me before, I think it has to do with resolution. I prefer running it in windowed mode myself, so I can access the Wiki and my utilities more easily.
