Beneath Apple Manor is the first roguelike

>>	Anonymous Sun Oct 30 04:38:46 2016 No.3590626 First commercial maybe. Every RPG back then was a roguelike.

>>	Anonymous Sun Oct 30 23:49:02 2016 No.3592319 >>3590621 No, that would be Rogue. I'm afraid this thread isn't bait... Please tell me it is.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 31 00:52:51 2016 No.3592391 I like the name"BAMlike" personally, but roguelike is too codified now to change it.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 31 01:03:17 2016 No.3592406 >>3592319 Rogue only came out in 1980.

Looks fun.

I have been getting into RPGs recently other than the big names I played as a teen.

Are there any good Apple II-C RPGs? I still have a working one with color monitor and joystick which I use play old text based adventure games and games I played early in my childhood.

It depends how you define the term "roguelike". If it means a game that has similar gameplay elements to Rogue, then BAM is definitely a rougelike. If it means a game that's a derivative of Rouge, then it's definitely not.

Also if we take the creator's at their word neither game inspired the other, they both arrived at similar solutions to a computer version of D&D.

>>3592435
This is false.
