Interesting to see where this goes. I always thought AlphaMan was interesting, but it seemed a bit sparse. Still a good game though.

It’s not that anything has changed for the worse in DCSS, it’s just a personal preference. LHDC appeals to me for a lot of the same reason I like Rogue, small footprint, minimal graphics.

I have never won either, but I do not play to win. I just play to play.

I have been using DBGL (DOSbox Game Loader) on a laptop running Linux Mint. I found it easy to set up and use. It is available for Windows and Mac as well.

Here is the site if anyone is interested.

I enjoyed Linley Henzell’s Dungeon Crawl. I prefer it to DCSS

I have not played it, but it sounds interesting. I will have to give it a try.

Years ago I ran across a game called Propilkki. The original game was released for DOS (it has since migrated to Windows). Not sure if you can still get the DOS version, but it was a great little game it it’s early years.

Rogue is one of my favorites. I have played a lot of the others (Hack, NetHack, ADOM, Angband, etc), but there is still something about the minimalist nature of this game that keeps drawing me back.

Would love to see this as game of the month!
