I’ll be sure to keep that in mind with my next plumber platformer

No one calls them plumber platformer though…

If you call it “Mario-like” then I would say most people would understand where the inspiration comes from.

most people would name hack (1984) or the fork nethack (1987) as the successor to rogue (1980). brogue (2018) i never heard of till now but probably i aged out by then (aged out of spending many mindless i.e. repetitive hours of fun)
reply
Brogue was released in 2009 for what it’s worth.

thanks, since i had never heard of it i had to look it up but I guess I misread it, wikipedia says the project was started in 2009, latest version in 2018. I noticed the difference in word between "project started" and "released", i'm growing numb-er, and jumped to a terribly erroneous conclusion. I have been killed by a rattlesnake.
