Description:

A Dungeons-and-Dragons-like game using character graphics, written
under BSD Unix and subsequently ported to other Unix systems. The
original BSD `curses(3)' screen-handling package was hacked together
by Ken Arnold primarily to support games, and the development of
`rogue(6)' popularized its use. Nethack, Omega, Larn, Angband, and an
entire subgenre of computer dungeon games (all known as `roguelikes')
all took off from the inspiration provided by `rogue(6)'; the popular
Windows game Diablo, though graphics-intensive, has very similar play
logic.
