What are some very simple yet very hard ascii based roguelikes. I really enjoy the roguelike Sil but I find that to play that game I need to actually concentrate on the game. I am looking for a simple roguelike that I can play without thinking about crafting, hundreds of different skills and their pros and cons, or weapon weights. I just want to be trying to get the bottom of the dungeon with the best score in simple hack n slash style. I love ascii roguelikes as I find that using my imagination for what enemies or weapons look like is half the fun. If you know of any such games please let me know.

How simple do you want? Most of my games are simple and ASCII, and if you want a challenge no one has yet to beat Toby the Trapper or Unstoppable (though both are in theory beatable if you make no mistakes).
Smart Kobold by Jeff Lait is a great little game that is challenging but involves little messing about.
Hydra Slayer is... well, I don't know if simple is the word, but it's *elegant*, and has plenty of interesting challenges.

I'd definitely recommend "a quest too far".. and give a go also to "the slimy lichmummy".
There are some threads about them on the forum.
Have fun!

Rogue or MAG would probably fit the bill I think.

Quickhack is good.
Demonhunt is very good.
