Original Rogue is still plenty fun today! A distillation of all things dungeon crawl and a fantastic example of simplicity. The mainframe version is entirely public domain and would be easy to add.

I've never played Rogue, I just know it through the terms "roguelike" and "roguelite". Consider how many games use these terms to describe games even to this day. That's the legacy of this game, almost half a century after its release! I think that alone makes this game worthy of being added to GOG's Preservation Program.
