I go back to play some nethack pretty regularly.
I sometimes play "Beneath Apple Manor" (1978) and similar-era games via Apple emulator. Believe it or not, it's a "roguelike" that actually predated Epyx' Rogue (1980) and NetHack (1987).
But I'm also thankful that Epyx' Rogue happened to become used for the overall genre name. "BeneathAppleManorLike" is just too much of a mouthful!
Oh my god that game art! <3 <3 <3
I don't know what it was about Apple II games, they just had an other-worldly quality to them.
The sound, too. It was like bird-chirping.
I loved it.
