Thanks so far, your posts have helped quite a lot (at least for clearing the fog in my brain

)
BUT: which company developed THIEF or where can I get it? the big prob is the search engines... the combination "thief roleplaying games roguelike" yields TONS of matches.... *G*
btw: I know Dungeon Hack and that its re-released in the so called "forgotten realms collection"... BUT this collection was never released in europe (in germany, to be precise) so its nearly impossible to get it legally
and I hate going to warez-sites, since most of them offer nothing but thrash anyway
