If all of you damn casuals are done with your Call of Halo: Medal of Warcrafts we can start on some real retro games.

I've been playing rogue a lot lately, actually.
Ever played Brogue, OP? It's pretty damn fun. For anyone that doesn't into roguelikes, it's a really good start.

That's not Ascii though. It's graphics with Ascii drawn onto it, if you get my meaning.

Yeah, it's like Dwarf Fortress. DF isn't real ASCII. A real ASCII game is something that can be played in a terminal.

It works in ASCII but it's better in ANSI

it's funny because new roguelikes are constantly coming out therefor rendering this genre non-retro

I don't think you thought this post through.

Been burned out on Nethack lately, so i thought i'd give DCSS or Angband a play.
Never really gave either of them much of a play and i think it's time to fix that.
