Unfortunately not. That’s a shame too.
I really wanna try this game, but I’m not getting steam just for one game.
I’m not much of a gamer, so I don’t have steam… :[

Oh well, back to nethack.

Is there the possibility to download (legal) the game without using steam?

Why the hell is Binding of Isaac even on this list?! Dungeon Crawler and Roguelike are not interchangeable words. The game isn’t even turn based which is a HUGE aspect of being a Roguelike. It’s a very fun game, no doubt, but not even close to Roguelike.

Nice interview—I too have memories of Phantasy Star. I guess for a good number of people the world over it served as a first glimpse as to how a sci-fi/fantasy might pan out and made an impression.

Well, the release pace has been decent all things considered, as well as people voting to support a thing in anticipation is always a consideration.

I’d imagine there will be an even more interesting spread of numbers and such for next year’s poll, and probably even more people voting across the lot of it. JADE currently pretty much has the ADOM community of old, so it’ll be especially interesting to see what the JADE specific community shapes up to be—especially with the commercial Ultimate Edition in the mix.

This is a great list every year, lets me know what are the RLs finished enough and good enough to download – a list that is hard to find otherwise due to differences of opinion etc. I didn’t vote this year as I was busy on our new private sales shopping web site http://www.templeandwebster.com.au and blog http://www.templeandwebster.com.au/blog

I don’t know about JADE being up there, it is really under development, but the RL community is looking forward to it of course (should it be JADE ADOM?)

Anyway, I’m a big fan of modernising ADoM in Java to reach a bigger audience for all the benefits a much broader audience gives without taking anything away from RL fans (options to set it back to ASCII, same shortcuts etc – just with a proper modern UX, graphics and sound, like any Java game in this post 2000 world).

I posted a few things regarding TB’s posts on the subject, coming from the point of view of usual running of a new software project and trying to make it a big success. I might repost here as there is a lot of noise…
