It's not about the graphics - I would much rather play the ascii version of doomrl or one of the newer ascii games like Vicious Orcs than nethack - the interface is just so arcane and hard to to use & the learning curve immense.

You need a manual to read Nethack's manual. :/

I would say Brogue, my little sister can play it pretty well, she's six.  Of course, she only gets around depth 5, then she gets overwhelmed with goblin conjurers. I keep telling her to run into a hallway, but, oh well.
