Dungeon Hacks: How NetHack, Angband, and Other Roguelikes Changed the Course of Video Games by David L. Craddock

3.0

I listened to this on Hoopla while doing yardwork. It definitely made me want to play Rogue again- my dad used to play the DOS version on our computer at home and I played it as well and made sure I copied it over to my college desktop when I moved out. I don't know if he ever knew I did that. I just loved Rogue so much. And I've never won it.

I wish the history of Roguelikes had more women in it. Listening to this history about these teen and young men making their Roguelikes just emphasizes you don't need a ton of special knowledge to hack about on your computer and do stuff.
