    Does anyone have any good suggestions for indie or older games that aren't like these dungeon-crawler roguelikes that everyone is mentioning? I'm thinking something like undomesticated snowman Crime Squad or MUD-type games. Maybe even outside the "RPG" genre.

    I've been installing old favorites for days now, but I can't find anything satisfying.

    Also, these Jeff Vogel games that a lot of people mention- do they actually have a good plot/character interaction, or are they just "descend deeper into the dungeon, kill stuff, repeat"?

    Geneforge has wonderful character interaction, Avernum is just a really fun sandbox dungeon crawla.

    Magi: http://www.getmagi.com/
    Shareware, full version costs 20$.

    Not really an RPG. You are a mage and fight duels gaining stats and new spells. There are different classes of mages with some special skills to use once every battle. Creating char you distribute points into some stats and magic schools.

    In demo you can see how the whole game works. I wouldn't buy the full version as it seems to get boring quite quickly. It is quite entertaining though, and pretty with very nice music.

    I found another, worth keeping an eye on him, cRPG(though I dont know wheter one could name him indie cRPG) named http://www.silvertreerpg.org/. Why do I put much fate in him? Because author/s of this software were working on Battle for Wesnoth which I very much like.

    There was one old RPG that I used to play quite often on my old Macintosh computers. I know that there were at least two games in the series. It was called something like "Darkwood" or "Duskwood", and in the first it was a totally text and static icon driven game, of a series of arena battles, where you'd earn money from each battle that you could then spend on items to improve your odds in the next battle, and on and on. In the sequel, you were defender of a castle city, and creatures came tile-by-tile nearer your keep, and you had to choose which to fight on which turn, then got items or gold from each, which you could - as in the first game - use to then buy items to improve your odds in future battles.
    It was definitely indie-shareware, and I'd like to try to find it and play it again, so -- anyone recall it?

    Attempts to commercialize roguelikes.

    First there was Scallywag, now there is Kamyran's Eye 2, another attempt to commercialize roguelikes. An interesting try, but not worth $10.00 . The demo is kind of compelling though, but not enough for me to spend money...

    None of these commercial roguelikes seem/play as fun as the free Lost Labyrinth...

    Anyway, I discovered the game I was asking about, "Siege of Darkwood." Rather old, but fun enough.

    Java Classic RPG . The site looks interesting. It is an open source project. Really incredible screen shots.

    Wow, that's pretty amazing. Definitely a project to keep an eye on. Too bad it's in Java . . . seems like that must come with a hefty performance hit.
