&gt;I've often asserted the utter playability of Shades.  It is a most
&gt;astoundingly _playable_ game.

Reference?  I've never heard of Shades.  Should I go searching the
archives?

&gt;That said, how many here have (fairly) recently played Rogue, Larn,
&gt;Moria, Hack or some other similar 2D ASCII graphics, maze/monster
&gt;game?  How many of you would willingly and enjoyably play them again
&gt;now?  What is about them as game designs that makes the enjoyable?

Aye, I've played those recently.  They're fun in the same way that
solitaire is fun for me; it's an exercise to see how far I can get
this time, testing the realms of chance against some amount of rote
skill and luck.  There's also an aspect of nostalgia.  Same thing
goes for playing Adventure (most recently through the web port
at <A  HREF="http://www-tjw.stanford.edu/adventure/">http://www-tjw.stanford.edu/adventure/</A>).
