Just to keep this updated; Anyone who has played the Crawl version on the original, old site should be aware of Crawl Stone Soup. It's under constant development and in no danger of dying any time soon, unlike the original version which will never see another update.
The latest version is always available for online play at the telnet server referred to in an above post. You can join 60 or so players, along with the devs, in ##crawl on irc.freenode.net, the home channel of the project and server.

In replay to the previous post, I had 3 characters (Chaos Warriors) in a row killed off by their patrons on level up at quite low levels while playing at my dad's over christmas. The gods are very fickle...

If you ever wanted to know how a *good* roguelike game looks like, but were too shy to ask, now you have a chance. You can watch other people play if you connect to the public server: crawl.akrasiac.org.
telnet crawl.akrasiac.org
But keep in mind there may be no one playing at the moment. You can still play the game yourself.
If you use windows and don't know how to telnet, download putty first.
http://the.earth.li/...t/x86/putty.exe
As you run it, make sure you have 'telnet' selected, and type crawl.akrasiac.org into 'host' field. Or whatever it's called.
A long time ago, I used to telnet by 'run a command' in Start menu. I have no idea which windows version it works, but I can't test now since I don't have windows anymore.
-------
The server is running Crawl Stone Soup 0.1.6 . It's a new version of crawl, not available in ubuntu/debian repositories. You'd have to compile it yourself.
It has numerous interface fixes, cleanups, built-in Travel Patch, some new monsters, balance tweaks, new vault designs, bugfixes, spells, skills, and a lot more !

depends on taste id say... zangband has alot going for it but this has skills and lots and lots of race/class combos + cool spells.. its a small download... you could just try it out
Phew, I was assaulted by a group of novice mages on Zangband, my most promising character. I had 3 hp left and I gain a level. I'm a chaos-warrior and I get the genocide thing. So I kill off the mages with that. Phew, that was a close call.DakaSha
