Sega Dreamcast Gets Rogue RPG Conversion

MilenCent writes "Oh rapturous jubilation! Some saintly homebrew Dreamcast programmer has ported Rogue, that wonderful, magnificent, beautifully malevolent progenitor of PC RPGs with randomly generated game content, to Sega's undead console. The history of Rogue is long and storied, and the genre of Roguelikes (which includes a certain game you may have heard of) has found a new platform to settle on."

Yeah, that's nifty, but where's my original games? Is this the best that they can do?

Here [dchomebrew.org]. Nothing particularly awesome, but still homebrew none the less.

Of course you know that the Dreamcast can emulate damn near anything [zophar.net], making it ideal for people who play a lot of ROMs. While I personally have never done it, I can imagine that plenty of people are getting use out of the Dreamcast strictly for that purpose.
