True, that.... :-) But what the heck. The average roguelike is a hack 'n' slash computer game based on tabletop roleplaying games, most often Dungeons and Dragons. The graphics in most roguelikes have stayed the same since the 70's (i.e. ASCII text) when the grand-daddy of all roguelikes, Rogue, was born. Most roguelikes are completely open-source. The most popular roguelikes are Angband ( http://thangorodrim.angband.org ) and Nethack ( http://www.nethack.org ). There are literally dozens of others--some variants, some original--but listing them here would take too much time. Don't be fooled by their apparent simplicity! What most roguelikes lack in graphics they make up for in game play. These suckers are addictive. You have been warned! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
