Yeah, games like Angband and Nethack are huge.  On the other hand, I
wrote a roguelike game on the TRS-80 Model 100 (32K RAM, 32K ROM, 1.X
MHz 8085) in BASIC.  It doesn't have to be huge to be a fun game.

You could write your own roguelike game.  You'd learn a lot about
programming... ;-)  And if you wrote it in C, not only would you be
learning a fairly current language, but your game would be reasonably
portable!
