It's always stood out in my mind as one of THE defining roguelike games of all time. The inventory system has always boggled me a little bit, but considering I was even capable of playing it when I was 7, having only one feature that has messed with me is trivial. Honestly, I'd like to see this game rise again from the dead. I do remember someone writing some newer versions recently, but there were no precompiled .exes and I can't be bothered to learn how to run a compiler just to check out some bugfixes.

DOS executables are obviously outdated, but IMHO the proper way to have a ASCII roguelike in Windows is the Windows console. Using ASCII in your own window is bad because one has to implement fullscreen and all other features themselves. Of course I mean no offense (this is rather nitpicking about this text), a graphical version of Omega is a good thing. I don’t know what you mean here with a proper Windows application.
