where's DoomRL?!

also, Generic Slash is the shit!! i have no idea what's so addictive about it, possibly the pick-up sound and/or the awesome player graphic. it would be awesome as a full-er roguelike.

I was asked to avoid writing about anything that could be infringing on copyrights, so DoomRL and CastlevaniaRL were (regretfully) excluded..
Had to pad the list with demos because of these omissions actually. :(

If you were asked to avoid things which infringe copyrights, doesn't Hurrican and Barkley Shut up and Jam break that rule too?
