The fact that Dwarf Fortress hasn't been posted here is shocking to me. Probably the coolest game I've ever seen in the sense that it excites me as to what video games can accomplish. Basically built by one guy, Tarn Adams, with some help form his brother I believe. Please take a look if you haven't. It has poetry.

I really wish I could play DF, but even as someone who occasionally dabbles with playing roguelikes, I can never get into it. DF looks completely daunting to me at the outset.

I do admire the game's lovely intro sequence, though.

It's a lot better (and easier!) with a different tile set. Definitely worth taking the time to play, fantastic game.
