The sprite sheet for the #AtariST version of Rogue is a thing of beauty.

Monsters, treasures and weapons... Oh my!

Many long years ago I wrote a program in GFA BASIC that randomly grabbed the sprites from the Rogue sprite sheet and placed them on the screen. I wanted to add the music from Michael Jackson's Thriller, but I'm not a musician and couldn't manage to do that. Maybe someday I'll figure that out.
