After Rogue became popular in the early days of the genre, a number of other games became popular in university computer rooms, games like Super Rogue, URogue and Advanced Rogue (sense a theme?) The talk would talk about and demonstrate these games live, thanks to the efforts of the Roguelike Preservation Society (which is itself now in need of preserving). Depending on time I might also demonstrate and talk about Larn, once a "major roguelike" that has fallen into obscurity these days, a game that takes a very different approach to roguelike concepts.
