Answer :

I used to play Angband, but never got past the 50th level or so. I like Rogue, Wizardry and other dungeon crawlers. One of the best I’ve played in recent times is Dark Spire on the Nintendo DS. It was impossible for me to finish without looking up the walkthrough but super satisfying nonetheless.
