Hey, just wanted to put it out there that I've got a list of little known, quality roguelikes on my blog. UnReal World, Fatherhood, The Chronicles of Doryen, Zomband, Alan's Psychedelic Journey, and some others. Some are good for a couple hours' play, others have been in development for 10+ years and are very, very deep games. I figured that people who dig Eschelon will like these kinds of games. Enjoy!

I just played Dungeon Crawl which is a neat little rogue-like.

Then I played an updated version with tile graphics, pretty shnazzy.

Cool - maybe you can explain to me how to get the 'tile' version working then.

For reference, I'm trying to play this on a Mac - when I launch the app, the old text version launches. I went through the docs but could find no mention on how to bring up the tile version instead.

Any help anyone can provide on this will be appreciated!
(And, yes, I'm a Unix neophyte if anyone is wondering...)

you have to compile the whole game with tiles enabled.

Code:
make MAKEFILE=makefile.x11 OSX=y


It seems they will provide a decent binary for mac with both text and graphic mode in the next release.

I have a version for mac PPC (the one I've compiled for myself), but not for Intel. If you have an old mac ppc, and you're interested, I can send you my binaries.
