Does anyone still play "roguelike" ascii games?

Asked by keobooks (14322points) June 24th, 2010

I started in 1991 playing Moria in college and I’ve been hooked on and off ever since. I used to play a lot of Angband and Nethack (ascended once as a healer in 1995, but now the game seems a lot harder and I can’t get very far anymore.) I got really into TOME for a few years too.

Ever since I got a new computer with Vista, I can’t really play most roguelikes anymore, the ascii graphics don’t all work and I can’t see the walls. But I found that NPPAngband works just fine and I’m playing that.

So anyone else play? What are you playing? I know these are no-glitz games but they are SO fun!
