Rogue Touch and other versions and variations

By the way, I have "Rogue Touch" on my iPhone from Chronosoft, and I must say it's a wonderful implementation (visually, it's a lot like the Epyx Atari ST version). It's highly recommended if you have an iPhone. You can see it here and it's certainly worth the meager $2.99 asking price: http://www.chronosoft.com/

I actually am something of a latter day collector of Epyx Rogue versions, since each platform release offered a different implementation. So far, I have the Apple Macintosh, Atari ST and Radio Shack Color Computer 3 versions. To complete my collection, I'd need the IBM PC version and the supposed best version, the Amiga version. Of course there have been other non-Epyx commercial implementations of Rogue as well that would be worth tracking down. I of course also have other Rogue-like games, like Telengard (Apple II and C-64 versions) and inspired variations, like Sword of Kadash (Atari ST version) and Gemstone Warrior (C-64 version), which are somewhat like early versions of Diablo. It's an interesting genre and genre-variations to say the least!
