Not exactly roguelikes, but MUDs [1] are multiplayer games with a roguelike feel, but they are more like the ancestors of MMORPGs, TBH.
A telnet program should basically be enough to start playing. There are some "MUD client" programs that enhance the interface (dunno about MAC OS), and some sites offer enhanced web interfaces as well.
One of the most popular, Aardwolf [2] is very newbie-friendly.

- Pamar 7y agoThanks, I am old enough to know of MUDs "first hand". But what I am looking for is a way to play casually with exactly one friend (who lives hundreds of Kms. from me) and not to spend more than 1 hour in the game at the time.
- aldanor 7y agoAardwolf has always been more like an infinite farming noobland (where you could also spend some real cash). Although, yea, very noob-friendly. For serious pvp+rp, Carrion Fields. For non-ROM based RP MUDs, Achaea or the like (although these days you'd likely have to spend real cash there as well).
