If you’ve played Diablo, The Binding of Isaac, Hades, Cult of the Lamb or Japanese franchises like Shiren the Wanderer and Mystery Dungeon, you’ve played a descendent of the original Rogue.

Thank you for sharing this, it’s so in depth! Really looking forward to sharing this with the “roguelike”-genre fans in my life, they’re in for a treat

I had no idea the term “roguelike” came from a specific game title. I always assumed it was from the DnD class (though I guess it sort of was, since the creators of Rogue were inspired by DnD).
Cool piece of video game history.
