A console roguelike is a roguelike game that can be played on a video game console without installing a Linux distribution such as Xbox Linux or PS2 Linux on the device. All known console roguelikes are commercial games. You may be able to find them on Ebay or Ebay Japan. If you cannot find the games right away, try using Ebay's e-mail alerts feature so that you are notified as soon as your game of choice is put up for sale on Ebay.

Before buying a Japanese game, ask around to make sure it will work with an American game system and an NTSC television.
