Creating multiple user games is another super cool subject, and it would be just fantastic if a few (at least one?) existed. It would be a massive hit on parties. It'd be nice if there was a little library on the actual connection, etc, so game developers wouldn't have to worry about that.
Those who are not familiar, the wikipedia entry (as usual) is an excellent starting point: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_%28computer_game%29. If you want to play with something on the PC immediately, just grab NetHack. I like nethack better, because you can do more things... E.g. a universe in which you can throw poisons at monsters and it actually harms them, there a lot more possibilities for gameplay/strategies.
