Rogue is the predecessor to NetHack and all other Roguelikes; it is the reference in the name. Although much simpler than the other Roguelikes, it is regarded as a classic, and is just as difficult to beat.
The basic plot is almost exactly like NetHack, and the interface is similarly ASCII-based, but several of the innovations of NetHack are not present in Rogue. For instance, while NetHack has six attributes, Rogue has only one: strength. (Dexterity is present, but not as an attribute.)
Rogue has less monsters, but several are similar to those of NetHack. For example, the Rogue aquator is basically a rust monster, and an ice monster paralyzes as a floating eye does (and causes just as many YASDs).
