If you're one of those crazy people who likes playing with ASCII characters, this might be the game for you. <a href="http://lambdarogue.net/dl-showentry.php?n=53">Mario sends word that his rogue-like aptly titled "LambdaRogue" has reached release version</a>. Here are the details:
<br>
<blockquote>LambdaRogue's feature set, esp. the number of different monsters and items, is rather small compared to many other roguelike games. However, all features are chosen in a "less is more" manner by me with clear concepts in mind.
<br>
<br>
Features of LambdaRogue 0.3.1 [I assume there's a bit more in the new 1.0 release version]
<br>
<ul><li>graphical SDL mode and text-based console mode
<br>
<li>optional soundtrack
<br>
<li>control by using keyboard (keys are configurable) or mouse
<br>
<li>3 difficulty levels
<br>
<li>2 alternate ways to win (with different endings)
<br>
<li>5 professions to choose from (Constructor, Enchanter, Thief, Ranger, Soldier)
<br>
<li>5 gods, inspired by greek mythology, to worship (Aphrodite, Apoll, Hermes, Dionysos, Ares)
<br>
<li>10 skills, abilities and talents to train
<br>
<li>4 character presets for an easier start for new players
<br>
<li>10 dungeon levels, all randomly generated when entered
<br>
<li>wilderness
<br>
<li>20+ quests
<br>
<li>17 different standard monsters, many of them with special abilities
<br>
<li>up to 7 unique monsters (depending on the selected difficulty level)
<br>
<li>many carefully handcrafted items, among them are:
<br>
<li>43 different weapons (incl. some rare and 13 unique weapons)
<br>
<li>35 different armour, helmet and ring items (incl. many rare and 14 unique items)
<br>
<li>28 different potions (incl. many rare and 9 unique potions)
<br>
<li>21 different spells to learn (incl. some not so easy to be obtained)</ul>
<br>
... LambdaRogue is now considered "postcard ware" (yes, I know I've stolen this from ADOM). If you like the game or at least want me to continue developing it, send me a postcard. The address can be found in the ingame help files.</blockquote>
