The original Rogue still holds up as a great game. I've played the DOSBox version and found it to be not quite as deep as Nethack, but more fun overall.

Brogue is a great spiritual successor to Rogue:
In nethack it's easy to just grind until you're invincible (barring YASD/"yet another stupid death", a death usually brought on by inattention rather than bad strategy or tactics) and then the endgame is a cake walk.
In Brogue (at least at the skill level I'm at), dashing through the last few levels to the amulet using up a lot of resources to survive and escape is very common.
