- 2001-05-25 Added zips for
SLASH'EM to Download page.
- 2001-05-24 Hello! I'm
getting ready to travel and move again and decided to finally update all the
links and downloads.
I also tweaked a few things on the review and preview pages, basically just
wiping off the layers of dust... Hopefully after I settle down I'll
get a dedicated web-page computer and will be able to get back into the
habit of weekly updates. By the way, I'm still playing Heroes 3
almost daily!!!
- 29-JUN-1999 : "Topic
of the Day" indeed! :) It's been a while, folks. The main culprits were Heroes
of Might and Magic III, exams, Might and Magic VII, and updates on my other
web sites. I've gotten lots of email from people recently, reminding me that people
actually look at these pages. So, I've finally gotten around to making some updates.
First of all, I revised my reviews for ADOM
and Unreal World, changing the format a bit and adding new information.
I updated the Legend of Saladir preview
as well. I also updated the Download and Links page; adding and correcting links and information. Next up on my agenda are
reviews and links for Crawl, Crossfire [there's a Win32
client now], and Castle of the Winds.
- 04-APR-1999 : Happy Easter! The Roguelike
News page moved, so I updated all the links to it.
Fixed the Balrog link. I also updated the topic for the week: 009: A la Carte Gaming.
- 26-MAR-1999 : Added/updated topic for this
week: 008: Role Playing. Added table of contents and Evets review to Review page.
Updated the Download page to include link to Evets review.
- 23-MAR-1999 : Added a direct download for Evets, which people have been hunting recently.
Added a link to Balrog (Roguelike Geneaology). Ragnarok wasn't one of the early graphical Roguelikes;
thanks for the info, Erik! Updated topic 004 ASCII Interface
to include some "amusing facts" from Erik regarding earlier graphical
Roguelikes.
- 08-MAR-1999 : Added/updated topic for this
week: 007: Dungeon Crawling. This is probably the last update I'll
be able to make for a couple weeks. We're almost done with the Roguelike
Characteristics! Only one more of the original batch left (008: Role Playing).
After that, I will finally be able to move on to the interesting stuff like wish
lists and hints and interviews.
- 05-MAR-1999 : Added/updated topic for this
week: 006: Single Player. Downloaded the new SLAM and liked
it! I'll update the review and direct download soon. I got Heroes of Might and
Magic III this week, will be in Colorado next Friday and the Friday afterwards, and
have a midterm exam the following week, so the Topics of the Week might slip (temporarily)
to Topics of the Month! :)
- 28-FEB-1999 : Ski trip! No updates
this week.
- 21-FEB-1999 : Added a preview for Dimensions, and added a link to it on the download page. I also added some general comments to the
Dungeon and Legend of Saladir previews.
- 20-FEB-1999 : Added review of Unreal World 2.20, updated its entry on the download page. Added preview
and download link for Legend of Saladir.
- 19-FEB-1999 : Added/updated topic for this
week: 005: Turn-based. Spent a lot of time looking for the old
Roguelike called Evets (for which several people are searching) but no
luck. Meanwhile, I am putting together some surveys: one specifically about Angband,
and a general one about the web site. If you have any questions you would like to
see asked, email me. Thanks!
- 15-FEB-1999 : Made huge updates to TAIL;
now it's version 1.1 and works in DOS and UNIX. I added it to the Download page. There's a readme file there
that give a brief intro on what TAIL does and what's in the ZIP.
- 14-FEB-1999 : Spent the whole day creating
TAIL (Trav's Angband Index Linker) version 1.0
- 13-FEB-1999 : Made minor updates to the Intro page. Switched from the Topic of the Day
to the Topic of the Week (big sigh of relief!).
Made extensive updates & additions to yesterday's topic (ASCII
Interface). Updated table on the Download page.
Fleshed out the Dungeon preview (added a screen
grab).
- 12-FEB-1999 : Added topic 004 ASCII Interface, made minor cosmetic updates to 002
Pace of Development. Man, these topics of the day are killing me!!! I've
been spending 7 hours per topic. Either I'm gonna have to write shorter topics (and
do less research), or write less frequently. Maybe I will relax it to once a week;
we'll see how tomorrow goes. So far I haven't received any feedback
about the recent site updates. If that isn't a motivation killer, I don't know what
is!
- 10-FEB-1999 : Renamed the Review
page Games, although I didn't change the filename because some
other web sites have links to that page and I don't want to mess things up. Added
topics 002-00X, giving them dates for the rest of this week. Posting in advance
spoils the fun a little, but I wanted to make sure I included all the information I
removed from the Intro and Wish List pages. Split
the Downloads and Links page into separate pages: Links
and Download.
- 09-FEB-1999 : Added the first topic: 001 Freeware, which contains a table which isn't quite complete; I'll
update it as I get new information. Overhauled the Intro
page (moved characteristics to Topics section) and added the Previews page, which is accessible from the Review page.
- 08-FEB-1999 : Changed the name from Roguelike
Genre to the more goal-oriented Roguelike Review.
Redesigned the site layout so that the focus is now clearly on reviewing
the different features of Roguelike games (handled by the new Topics section), and reviewing the different
Roguelike games and variants. I've merged the NetHack Shoplifting Primer
and my Wish List into the Topics section. The
whole site now has a better focus (in my opinion). Feedback is welcome; please use
the Discussion list so that others can respond to your comments
as well.
- 14-MAY-1998 : Started the
long-due overhaul of my Roguelike pages, renaming them "Roguelike Genre."
