I'm sure Thief is great and all, but that's not what I meant by Rogue-like.

Was the Moria game an old ascii text based game on the PC back about 10 years ago Zad?

Not to get too far off topic...okay, screw the topic...can anyone direct me to a java version of ANY of these games? I die for stuff to do at work, and there's only so many times I can go through the java version of Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy...



I can't download ADOM here, but surely there's been a java port.

Here are some rogue-like Java games I found with a quick seach:



www.freearcade.com/Zplet.jav/Rogue.html (http://www.freearcade.com/Zplet.jav/Rogue.html)



sourceforge.net/projects/tyrant/ (http://sourceforge.net/projects/tyrant/)



There is no java port of ADOM that I know of, but something like that is in the works:

JADE: Java-based Ancient Domains Engine (http://www.adom.de/jade/index.php3)

Funny I just found this topic. I just started playing Vanilla Angband again like two weeks ago after a year or two away from it. It is amazing how much fun the game is and even more so that I forgot about.



The newest version though is damn tough compared to the older ones. I still haven't made it past a depth level of around 600' or so.

Well, seeing as how the thread has been revived, I'm going to have to say No One Lives Forever 2. Not a long game, but DAMN fun!

I'm a big Zangband addict... www.zangband.org/ (http://www.zangband.org/)



its such a heavily modified version of angband that I think it classifies its own seperate name from angband (tho I did put a vote down for angband)

Rogue because it was better then Bushido, Marble Madness, Barbarian, Ancient Art of War(the only other games I had at the time)
