I didn't think it was possible, but somehow I've managed to write about
roguelike games for three straight days. After my initial Ancient Domains of Mystery fixation, I had no idea I'd end up with this much material.
But here goes, three Nintendo classics have been revived by Columbian programmer (and true geek) Santiago Zapata.
On his
website, you'll find roguelike versions of Metroid, Castlevania and The Legend of Zelda, where Link has become a little green "@" symbol.
While the games do involving hacking, slashing and shooting lower-case "a"s, Zapata does move away from the traditional roguelikes by including music and sound effects.
Perhaps these would make a better introduction for the roguelike virgin than ADOM.
