7DRL Contest 2005

On March 5th, 2005, a great challenge was issued. The denizens of rec.games.roguelike.development were challenged to write a new, complete, roguelike in a mere 168 hours. Since so few roguelikes are ever "complete", some would claim this to be an impossible undertaking.

Nonetheless, fifteen brave souls dared enter the challenge. Of those, eight have provided us with URLs to their works. All of them, however, should be honoured for having taken on this challenge.

This list is sorted by date of acceptance of the challenge.
