Kharne (full name: Kharne The Revelation) by Dave Moore was a roguelike released in 2001 for the Windows platform, programmed using Delphi. Heavily graphical, it featured the David E. Gervais tileset, drag-n-drop inventory management, and gameplay based heavily upon AD&D. However, magic and many other features were never implemented, and the game was (despite an abortive rewrite using the then-newly-released DnD 3rd Edition rules) offically abandoned in 2002.

A complete rewrite has just commenced (April 2008), with the aim of producing what will effectively be a completely new game, using the Kharne name, and no longer featuring the Ad&D ruleset. See http://kharne-rl.blogspot.com for details and progress.
