Our 100th episode's part 2 will focus on 4 major games that were the first to be properly called "rogue-likes".

The first of which will be a deep dive on Moria! An open-source redesign of Rogue, you descend 50 levels to fight the all-powerful Balrog.

It pioneered the concept of a starting town, loot farming, and so much more!
