I like the games which have great randomness and replayability.
I think that the most replayable game is NetHack, a kind of roguelike.
Diablo and many hack-and-slash games are inspried by NetHack.

I've played Nethack HUNDREDS of times with a barbarian or a valkyrie (the easiest classes) and I still haven't finished it! It really is a game of skill. Of course there's much luck, too. But it is extremely interesting game. There aren't much other games where you have so many choices to do; for example; what if I drink from a fountain? Or what if throw a wand of cancellation in my bag of holding? (DON'T DO THAT!) I've played Doom the Roguelike too. It is not so great, though. And ADOM (Ancient Domains Of Mystery), which I really didn't understand.
I'm happy you started this topic, starwindz.

It is nice to meet you, a nethack fan!
A year ago, I have made a total launcher for major rogulelike games including nethack.
This program has its own game movie recorder/player and many features.

Have you finished Nethack many times? And which classes? _________________ Planescape Torment is a great CRPG with the most beautifulsoundtrack.

It's not text based, it just has ASCII graphics.
There are also some versions which have some kind of 'better' graphics:
I think ASCII graphics fit Nethack perfectly. It makes your imagination work, when you don't know what a quantum mechanic (letter Q, a monster) actually looks like. _________________ Planescape Torment is a great CRPG with the most beautifulsoundtrack.
