I've been playing a whole bunch of Roguelikes lately. Here's a short list of games I've really enjoyed.
### Nethack
[Nethack][nh] is the first roguelike I ever played. There were a bunch of students in my Computer Science program at
Oberlin that were always playing it in the CS labs.
Most recently, it's what got me hooked on the genre all over again. Famously, it gives you almost nothing to go on when
you start. It's up to you to figure out everything based on what you -- the player -- know about the game. It's like a
puzzle!

### Brogue
[Brogue][b] is the first Roguelike I played after only ever playing Nethack. The first time I started it up I was in
awe. It does a really great job of making use of the terminal to render a beautiful world for you to explore. The water
(there are lakes!) animates, there are fields of mossy grass and plants, there are blobs of goo that explode and spread
noxious pink gas everywhere.

### Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup
My friend David introduced me to [Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup][dcss] on Twitter. I think it does a good job of distilling
the complexities of many roguelikes into a simpler form that's still rich and engaging. I really like how easy it is to
drop in on people and observe games too!
