Could you hint me some good (and actively supported) roguelikes?
Thanks.

I second Dwarf Fortress and Crawl Stone Soup.
Nethack et al. are top-notch. they are probably in freeze status simply because the original developers are getting Alzheimers.
I wish their were more *hack style games. I think *bands won out due to them being more rote power-gaming (kill kill kill. no end to items/monsters. more stuff is more important than id'ing what you have). I think Nethack has more finesse and elegance in gameplay than any other roguelike.
you could also give GearHead and 3059 a whirl, they are some of your only options if your in for some sci-fi rogue action. The creator of 3059 is now working on 3069. they are both OK games, and mature. However they just don't have the legacy nor the development background of any mainstream rogue (all of which are fantasy based).
Dwarf Fortress is my number one though. It is really a great game.
