I'm excited that the Roguelike Celebration has selected my presentation for this year's event! It covers the Robot-like games that started with the BASIC-language program Chase in the 1970s. In many ways this can be thought of as a proto-roguelike game. The event will be Oct. 19-20. Don't miss the free online preview Sept. 8. See roguelike.club/ for info. (Other speeches TBA.)



Image titled "CHASE." It has a 15x10 grid of green on black text characters (X for walls, * for the player and + for enemy robots) showing an old BASIC computer-language game as it would appear on a computer monitor in the 1970s. Next to it is a 15X15 grid of 8-bit pixel graphic icons of walls, a player and robots showing a similar game as it would appear on a Nintendo Entertainment System. At the bottom, text reads "Robot-like games".
