Bots isn't a roguelike (but it is a great game though).

What's BOTS? I think I'll refrain from voting, since ADOM is the only roguelike I've ever played (The only other one I've ever heard of was something called Nethack, I think)

bots is a game where you build a robot and fight other bots with it http://www.bots2.net

As for roguelikes, there are many roguelikes out there, I haven't really tried many of them but the ones that spring to mind at this moment are ADoM, Nethack, Rogue (obviuosly), Zangband.
I know there are lots of more roguelikes out there, but someone that knows more about them than me can post them :)

ADOM is the best by far. which is kinda sad. cause ADOM is not getting much work done on it anymore. I'd love to see the same engine with a different adventure.

Theres a rougelike called Ivan which is pretty funny> it has tile graphics>
bad points: you cant choose a class
good points> you have a total hp, and limb/body/head hp, limbs can be severed and used as clubs, and theres lots of amusing bits in it, but ive only played it a little bit.

~~~ IVAN is fun for a laugh, but a bit lighthearted, if you dont count the morbid amount of ways to die:

Ouch. :o

~~~ Anyway, ADOM is definitely the best rpg/simulation roguelike. Hands down. Meaning it is an rpg first, with simulation elements.

~~~ But for a simulation/rpg roguelike, URW (UnReal World)is also the best. Hands down. I know many of you already know this game, but for those of you who don't here is the link to the homepage:

http://www.jmp.fi/~smaarane/urw.html

You can get a demo there. The full game requires purchase, but trust me: it's worth it. I'm not just blowing wind here - I bought it. It really is the best game ever made... give it a try.

I post in the forums as Thoth, and I have actually taken a very active part in the community. I have written an (extremely) important winter survival guide and I have even devised an alternate graphics set, which the author has graciously hosted on the homepage! :)

~~~ So, I must decline the vote, only because I hold both games in equally high esteem. Basically, if I was stranded on a desert island with a laptop (named Wilson), and I had ADOM and URW, I'd be happy as long as the batteries lasted. :D

Cheers to the two best games ever made!
