Sort of off topic, but I recall a DOS game my dad played that was kind of like a Roguelike but with rudimentary top-down graphics, where you explored a castle. Anyone know what it is?

The Castle of the Winds, maybe? It was a fairly popular shareware title

Technically that game was Win 3.1, not DOS (although Win 3.1 ran on top of DOS, so...). Still a very fun game and my first exposure to RPGs.

Castle Adventure? https://archive.org/details/msdos_Castle_Adventure_1984

That's how I learned to spell the word "necklace"

Hmm, I almost want to say zzt but it is not procedurally generated or used sprites.

Nahklah was a favorite of mine, but it is not procedurally generated either.
