Hack (1985) by Andries Brouwer, Jay Fenlason, Kenny Woodland, Mike Thome, Jon Payne & Don G. Kneller - '(A) classic. Initially created as a clone of rogue that allowed for more monsters. This has been a recurring theme in the development of hack and later nethack and slash'em .. Let's add more of everything, including weird effects in specific rare situations.. It's a true classic. As evidenced from the extreme popularity of NetHack and a few variants, it's replayability is nearly infinite.' - History (and see NetHack and Rogue below) NetHack (1987+) by Mike Stephenson and the NetHack Dev Team - Website & Family Tree - 'Your goal is to grab as much treasure as you can, retrieve the Amulet of Yendor, and escape the Mazes of Menace alive.'

They called it Rogue..From this basis, Hack was born. Soon Hack became NetHack, because it was developed by many people (and has nothing to do with hacking the internet)..people played this on many machines.. But..the reclusive masterminds of NetHack (only grace) the world with new versions as they see fit..usually a new version every good number of years..there was much gnashing of teeth..people began making their own versions of NetHack to tide themselves between magical releases. Slash'EM is the (continuing) saga of one such variant..' Moria (1983) by David J. Grabiner and the Moria Dev Team - Website - 'The game of Moria is a single player dungeon simulation. A player may choose from a number of races and classes when creating a character, and then `run' that character over a period of days, weeks, even months, attempting to win the game by defeating the Balrog which lurks in the deeper levels.' - Play MORIA ONLINE Angband (1990+) by Ben Harrison and the Angband Dev Team (Angband is currently maintained by Andrew Sidwell) - Website - Angband, a popular Moria variant, 'is a freeware computer dungeon exploration game based (loosely) on the books of J.R.R.Tolkien.

Dungeons of Doom are a randomly generated maze of rooms or corridors connecting them. Each level of dungeon has a staircase leading to a lower dungeon level. The dungeon has traps, secret doors, treasure and of course monsters, which will attack the player character on sight.' Crypt of the Necrodancer (2014) by is a 'hardcore dungeon crawling (roguelike) rhythm game. Move to the beat with the game's epic sound track or your own MP3s.' (more) Brogue (2009+) by Brian Walker is 'a traditional 26-level crawl to the Amulet of Yendor.

Lost Labyrinth has the following features: relatively short gameplay (about 10-20 minutes); very high replayability; nearly everything in the game is randomly generated; a lot of options during the character generation --each character type requires another strategy to survive; game focus on exploration --killing monsters does not give an experience bonus; Multiplayer games on the same machine (up to 3 players with keyboard, mouse and joystick); 'Zelda'-like graphics, sound and animation; smooth scrolling of game screen; FreeWare' (The original website is defunct but a snapshot of the site can be viewed here.) Ancient Domains of Mystery, or ADOM (1994+) by Thomas Biskup 'is a roguelike video game..The player's aim is to stop the forces of Chaos that invade the world of Ancardia. Like most roguelikes, ADOM uses ASCII graphics to represent the game world. It features a wilderness map that connects different types of dungeons. Most dungeons are randomly generated..' (Wikipedia page) - Also see the current official Ancient Domains of Mystery website and Thomas Biskup's website ZZT (1991) by Tim Sweeney - '(A) superb game..It pushes ASCII to its limits, creating a stunning range of graphical effects that set a new standard for text-mode games. Its complex, detailed rooms offer a combination of arcade-style action and mind-bending puzzles to solve. Most impressive is the fact that all of its rooms are arranged to form cohesive 'worlds' that provide a strong narrative drive to the game play.' - Tim's Text-Mode Game Page - Note: ZZT has a game speed slider. Set it to Slow. Sword of Fargoal (1983) - Remake by Jeff McCord - Website - 'You are on a quest to retrieve the Sword of Fargoal, which lies betweenlevels 15 and 20 of a dungeon. The dungeon levels are populated by an ever-regrowing number of different monsters..' Castle of the Winds (1989) by Rick Saada is a fantasy rpg (with basic gfx) in which you explore dungeons, kill monsters, collect all manner of items and treasures and so forth. Typical dungeon crawl material but this one is nicely done and it has a story (steeped in Norse legend) that is very well written. Recently, the author of the game posted this on his webpage: 'What I didn't expect was that Castle of the Winds would generate some 13,500 registrations, and continue to generate mail to this day. At this point, I give the game away for free. Here's a zip with both part one (the free part) and part two (the part you had to register to get).'

Please note: Many of the older games listed here --NetHack and Dungeon Crawl, for example-- run fine in Windows, however most DOS based games (and games for older versions of Windows) won't run natively in Windows 7+. To be able to play the DOS games listed here, download the latest version of DOSBox and a decent easy to use front end, like DBox. Both are safe, free, open source programs with no ads, registration or spyware. Install DOSBox first and then DBox (or similar front end). Use DBox to easily manage and play your DOS games. Note that DOSBox works great for nearly all DOS games, so have fun with it!Last update:January 12, 2021 Est. Est. February 9, 2005 Suggestions? Send them here. *J. R. R. Tolkien, The Hobbit
