Angband	author	1992	2.4.frog-knows is the rather unusual version number given to the very first public release of Angband outside of the University of Warwick, and was released on 11th April 1993 for UNIX with a near-simultaneous release of the PC port (for DOS). A purely bugfixing release for the PC followed very shortly afterwards, on 20th April - PCAngband 1.1.	Unix
Angband	author	1992	Angband is a single-player, text-based, dungeon simulation derived from the game Moria, which was in turn based on Rogue. It is often described as a "roguelike" game because the look and feel of the game is still quite similar to Rogue (though there are now graphical tiles available if you dislike ASCII gaming). Angband has been in more or less continuous development since the early 1990s. The ultimate goal of the game is to develop a character strong enough to defeat Morgoth, who resides on dungeon level 100. Upon doing so, you will receive the exalted status of "winner" and your character may retire. To achieve this you will need to explore numerous dungeon levels, defeat many foes and sift through a great deal of treasure. Angband is a reference to Morgoth's "prison of iron" in the world of Middle-Earth, created by J.R.R. Tolkein.***JnuxBand turns Angband into a 'PC booter' game. Simple write to a floopy, USB, or disk img file and play it on any computer or emulator that can boot it.	Linux
Barony	Turning Wheel	2015	Barony is a 3D, first-person roguelike. The goal of the game is to descend to the bottom of a dark dungeon known as the Devil's Bastion and destroy an undead lich named Baron Herx, who terrorized the peaceful town of Hamlet in life and is now harboring a curse against the land from beyond the grave. To aid you in your quest are friendly humans who have been eeking out a rough life within the dungeon for generations, as well as any friends you can bring with you in real life: Barony is the first of its kind as a first-person roguelike in that it fully supports cooperative multiplayer for up to four players. ~ Features ~ * Gameplay inspired by RPG classics like Ultima Underworld, System Shock, & Daggerfall * Roguelike mechanics such as perma-death, random dungeons, cryptic messages and more * Complex but intuitive drag & drop interface for inventory and character management * Cooperative multiplayer for up to 4 players over internet or LAN * Hundreds of unique collectible items and loot * Dozens of secret areas and developer easter eggs * Bundled level editor, exposed assets, and simple formats for easy modding	Windows

CrossFire	author	2001	A fantasy medieval themed MORPG with a set of races and classes similar to angband and nethack. There are multiple graphical clients to chose from that will show more information than text based clients (stacks of objects on the floor for instance). Use of text remains heavy in all clients and more closely follows a the example of text adventure interpreters than simple commands. Players will need to converse with NPCs. But many typed commands are simple as well and players can bind any command to a keystroke. Also, there are a variety of shortcuts that can be preformed with the mouse. The adventures provided really depend on which server the player chooses to play on. Most servers allow multiple characters and they remain attached to the server where they were created. Initially there was no gender option provided but version 1.10 added this option. Many servers continue to use the monogender mode. Generally servers include a tutorial map, several interlinked preset maps, and attached maps that are randomly generated within a set or constrictions (themed dungeons). Players find a public bed (or buy their own real estate to place a bed in) to sleep until they want to return to the game, which is a quit-save. Any items they left lying around may be stolen, but their inventory and their character are safe when sleeping. A variety of locked storage, security systems, guard animals, or guard NPCs are available for things that just won't fit into inventory. Maid NPCs are also an option. Player vs player is decided per server. The game allows for servers to have PvP zones and for players to mutually agree to PvP (outside of zones). But absolute prevention of PvP is apparently technically impossible for anyone determined to circumvent the safeguards as sings repeatedly warn players that PvP is forbidden in places where technical limitation are already in place. There is an extensive skills system as well. Skills increase by using them. For instance, read a book that is within your literacy skill level and you will ear literacy experience points. This only works once per book, btw. There is no combat mode. Attacks are in real time. While characters can have all manor of attacks at their disposal, all melee attacks are done without visual feedback. Text feedback is given instead. Ranged attacks show the projectile, but are otherwise identical to each other as melee attacks are. Find towers and dungeons. Hack up monsters. Gather loot. Sell loot. Practice skills. Repeat. For POSIX/X11 and/or GTK systems. Confirmed to run on Ubuntu and IRIX. RPM available. [Zerothis]	Linux

DRL	author	2005	"Doom" is not a word in the Webster's dictionary anymore. It is in fact owned by Zenimax who sued Webster's and the people behind DoomRL for using the word. Which is why it is "DRL" now. Zenimax took this action seemingly because one of the developers of DoomRL created an unrelated roguelike called "Jupiter Hell" and solicited investors on Kickstarter. And Webster's because they sell dictionaries.***Latest version: 0.9.9.1 (as of 2010-03-24)	Linux

Hellgate	HanbitSoft	2009	Very much the same game as the original Hellgate: London with offline play removed completely and some other features added. Immediately obvious differences is the presence of item shop (microtransactions), achievements, auction house, newbie XP boost status effect, and various other features reminiscent of MMOs. The overall story is less apparent and some things in regards to the story that existed in the original are no longer in.	Windows
Hellgate: London	Namco Bandai;Electronic Arts (Flagship Studios)	2007	Latest version: SP 1.2 (as of ?), MP 1.3d (as of 2008-07)**[b]References:[/b] Diablo: Wirt's peg leg*2008-02-22 Korea, published by Hanbitsoft Note that the original English version of Hellgate has been abandoned and Hanbitsoft continued to develop their release beyond that. They re-published their version internationally, but it has been changed noticeably from its origins and there is no update/upgrade path for original Hellgate: London owners to the Hanbitsoft version. The core game is still very similar, but Hanbitsoft's version resembles MMOs much more closely in terms of features (though still lacks open areas where all players fight for ).The multiplayer part is similar to that of Guild Wars, with people gathering at the hubs (underground stations; a bit like location specific in-game lobbies) from where they head out into [i]instanced[/i] combat/quest areas. So this is practically a MMO with the same experience available for single-player/offline users (minus the other players).*[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows XP SP2 or Vista * 1.8 GHz CPU (2.4 GHz for Vista) * 1 GB RAM (2GB for Vista) * 128 MB VRAM * 7 GB HD space * Radeon 9000 or GeForce 6200**DESCRIPTION Hellgate : London is the first original title from premier developer Flagship Studios. Set in the near future, Hellgate introduces gamers to a world devastated by demon invasion. Players are thrust into a desolate city scorched by hellfire. Here, the few survivors must meld science and sorcery in order to gain a foothold against the minions of darkness and save the bloodline of humanity. Hellgate : London combines the depth of role-playing games with the action of first-person shooters while offering infinite replayability and an individualized gaming experience complete with dynamically created levels, monsters, items and events. Players create a hero and then battle through innumerable hordes of demons while completing quests and advancing through experience levels and branching skill paths. A robust, flexible skill and spell system, highly-customizable items and a massive variety of randomly generated equipment allow players to create a hero that is truly unique. FEATURES A New Perspective on RPGs Combining the depth and customizability of role-playing games with the immersion of those played from the first-person, Hellgate is fast-paced but doesn't require lightning reflexes to achieve a high level of success. * Unique and Appealing World Explore an ominous post-apocalypse London alone or with friends. From ancient ruins long buried beneath once thriving streets to shattered cathedrals, fact and myth are blurred into an unceasing nightmare as the last remnants of humanity fight for their very souls. * Character Classes Fight against the demons of the underworld as one of several unique character classes. like the Templar, each class has a unique visual and game-play style based on its particular history and place in the world. Randomly generated items that can be modified in numerous ways ensure that heroes are distinct and individualized. * Hell on Earth Battle against a wide variety of demonic enemies, each with their own unique attributes, abilities, and vulnerabilities. * Infinite Re-playability With dynamically generated levels, massive quantities of randomly created items, chance events and story-driven quests, no two gaming experiences are ever the same. Differing levels of rarity and modification potential for items and skills also mean that every game played is a unique event. * Single-Player and Online Multiplayer Support While Hellgate : London stands on its own as a singleplayer game, it also provides a compelling multiplayer experience via a dedicated online gaming destination. By creating unique and individualized gameplay "instances" within a vast online community, Hellgate provides gamers with all the best parts of traditional massive multiplayer games, but without any of the common downsides.
