7DRL Contest 2007

On March 10th, 2007, the dwellers of rec.games.roguelike.development were again challenged to write a new, complete, playable, roguelike in the scary span of just 168 hours. This was the fourth time such quest had been issued, and developers from all around the globe attended the call.

So it was that the fourth Seven Day Roguelike Challenge started.

This time, twenty-two brave souls dared to challenge the impossible. Of those, nine have provided proof of their heroic deed. All of them, however, should be honoured for having taken on this challenge.
