    I was just listening to the ATB podcast on rogue-like games and I was looking for a rogue-like screensaver borg that plays itself. Can anyone recommend me a good one, preferably not too tough to set up like the angband one I just tried.

    Thanks

    No you're probably thinking of "Annbanged".

    Also, I do not know what that is.

    Its a screensaver. Instead of flying toasters, its a basic 2d RPG d&d style game with the computer auto-playing

    It runs a bit too fast on my laptop but everyone was asking me what it was yesterday and were interested in it despite the nerdiness.

    Any way to increase the resolution or move the play area from the corner of the screen?
