Wikipedia has not liked much of our roguelike articles, you know that whole, if its not published on antique paper with quail egg ink and fountain pen its not a substantiated claim etc bulldust. that 'list' has a lof of garbage on it. feel free to drop in on roguetemple.com or rec.games.roguelike.misc/development...
whats important in the genre? in a nutshell.
rogue, hack, nethack, larn, moria were genre defining
then you have the big ones like angband(s), adom, crawl.
you could make a case for omega but it too easily fell by the wayside rather than stood up to be counted.
in a nutshell I'd ignore anything that didnt come from the PC to start with.
the moria/angband thing, well its like hack to nethack. moria came first but angband is the final polish.
