Default OT - the ultimate roguelike?

http://tower.sourceforge.net/

... OMG ...

A roguelike with 3D rendered ASCII text?
A roguelike where when you eat rotten food and vomit, you can PICK UP the vomit?
A roguelike where my first character died by reading the only starting item in his inventory, a scroll which caused God to awaken, destroying the universe? (Admittedly that must have been a fluke - or a prank - as my second and third characters started with torches )
A roguelike with *animated* ASCII graphics? (Remember the vomit? Well, you see a little % falling down from the @ onto the # A bit less disturbing are the movement and combat animations )
A roguelike where you choose your class by - well, I'll let that be a surprise the first time you play

(OK, some of those aren't too impressive, but they were interesting/funny nonetheless )

Seriously guys... if you're into roguelikes, you gotta check this game out... It's got some bugs (like the arrow keys don't work so you have to use hjkl to move ) but that ought to be fixable pretty readily
