I discovered Angband long before I heard about Nethack. When I started playing Nethack, I felt frustrated because many of my old Angband tricks wouldn't work. I have it on my HD but I don't play it.
About the graphics, there's a free interface add-on that makes it MUCH nicer. It's called
Falcon's Eye.
There seems to be some sort of connection between Scandinavians and roguelike games. Well, at least it gives me a good excuse - "I can't help being addicted to Angband, dear, must be my Finnish genes".
