If you're looking for a little old school rogue-liking that's pretty darned old yet remade, <A href="http://www.freewebs.com/drussell/RevivedHack.htm">RevivedHack</a> has hit <A href="http://www.freewebs.com/drussell/Download.htm">version 1.5</a>. Basically, this is a remake of the original <i>Hack</i>, which was the daddy of <A href="http://www.nethack.org">NetHack</a>. Here's what's changed:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>For this release I fixed a bug that caused door Mimics to display improperly when hiding on a secret door. This bug did not affect gameplay aside from revealing the location of secret doors on very rare occasions.
<br>
<br>
There were other very minor bugfixes that are not worth mentioning here.
<br>
<br>
To enhance the gameplay a little RevivedHack now highlights changes to the status line.
<br>
<br>
Finally, I added a graphical crossfade effect when changing levels, and optimized the graphics routines.</blockquote>
<br>
<br>
If nothing else, it should give the players of <A href="http://www.nethack.org">NetHack</a> a chance to see the roots of the game they currently play.

As the website says, NetHack is superior in every way to both Hack and Rogue. Nice to see that it has been updated to run though. Never hurts.
