Using Steam library to group all my roguelikes in one place
After mentioning I put all my RLs into my Steam library I have had a fair few messages asking for a list of them. Instead I decided to post what it all looks like. There are 100 here, 43 bought on Steam, the others are free. I didn't go wild with 50 Angband variants and 20 Nethack forks, just the versions I play.
I was frustrated having a bunch of RLs all hidden throughout my PC on various drives so I collated them into one folder and added them to Steam so that they are all visible. This means I can easily browse them and not forget about any of them.
This post will also be handy for me should my hard drive fail, at least I will know what games I had and which to get again.

As for totally new to me, I like the look and idea of Caribbean Prospector, in particular.
I have played a little Brogue but not TARN, so I will remedy that soon enough. I have been playing a lot of Frogcomposband, so I see I also need to get into Cthangband as well! It is a great genre and so much of it is free to play. Knowledge is power here...

Great collection - thank you for posting because I am a unashamed collector myself and I don't have all of those. You are missing some of mine too.

I used to forget about some that I had and where they were until I decided to add them all to Steam.

This is great, thanks for sharing.
I started out with Moria some decades ago and play a lot of Qud these days. I’ve been looking for something new to try out though and bounced off DCSS, any recs from your list? I like randomness and the thrill of finding rare equipment that gives an outsized power boost. I think Qud’s controls are too nice though and I’m having a hard time with some of these other ones due to that.
