It's an old game with terrible graphics, but very fun. It's based on Dungeons and Dragons, and has incredible replay value.
Every time you start a new game, the layout of everything is different. Towns, wilderness, everything. Every time you go down a dungeon level, it's randomized. So if you go to the level 2 dungeon, then back up the stairs and down again, the level 2 dungeon will be different.
You can fight many odd creatures/people, such as Robin Hood, Santa Claus (Summons Greater Demons, watch out), The Ring (Yes, the One Ring), Golem, and many other people you'd recognize.
When you die, it autosaves your file, so you can't just respawn or reload a saved game. (You can if you save it elsewhere every so often, but that's cheating) Meaning you'll have to start all over each time you die.
The game is incredibly difficult, but I definitely suggest playing. It's turn-based, but once you get into it (setting your macros, etc), it doesn't really feel like it.

There are many different GUIs and graphics plugins for it, so it'd be hard to show you them all.
