Lo-Tech Gaming

[Sevastáin Pinátsch]

Personally, I still have a soft spot for small, old, or simple games that will run on modest hardware. The best of them are easy to learn, difficult to master, and nearly impossible to win.

As a former D&D player, my favourite lo-tech RPG is Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. Free and open source.

You can play it online:

crawl.develz.org/

Or, download it for Windows, Mac or Linux:

I like the graphical tile version. I'm not nearly imaginative enough to understand the ASCII one.

The keyboard commands took a bit for me to learn... I had a cheat sheet pinned to my wall for a year.  But I've spent years enjoying this game.

Last tip: There's great information to be found on the game's wiki:

crawl.chaosforge.org/Crawl_Wiki

I quite enjoy the game Ancient Domains of Mystery. It's a roguelike RPG that's been in development since the '90s. There's a version with full, tile-based graphics, but I prefer the ASCII graphics version.
