The best game on my PC at the mo is ADOM, an ascii roguelike.  It's
been on PC for a couple of years, longer than anything else.  My machine
is at least an order of magnitude over-specced for it, even without
considering the 3d hardware card, 300W sound output and all the other
things ADOM doesn't use.  The price is attractive too; it's completely
free (postcardware).

Unfortunately not.  It's been about 10 years since I played it, and I
can't remember the rules.

To err is human, to moo bovine.
