Game Tunnel has officially announced the winners of their "2006 RPG Game of the Year" awards. First place went to the dungeon-crawler, FastCrawl. Congrats to all the winners!
More information.FastCrawl quite reminiscent of NetHack and feels like a much matured NetHack. Though sometimes it isn't quite perfect, the quick adventures of random arrangement make for a perfect combination of adventuring and role-playing that kept us playing for many, many hours hours. Perhaps the one big paradox of the game is that despite its quick games, we didn't play it any fewer hours than the longer RPGs we tried out this year. In fact, many of us here played it more.
