Actually, all of ''NetHack'' is roguelike, but this one level is more like ''Rogue'' than the others.

# Stairs are percent signs '''<tt>%</tt>'''. (Hack uses '''<tt>&lt;</tt>''' and '''<tt>&gt;</tt>''', like NetHack normally does.) In Rogue, there was always one stairway: [[down]] if you had not found the [[Amulet]], or [[up]] if you found it. Hack and NetHack introduced an innovation where old levels were saved to disk, allowing you to freely travel up and down. Thus, the roguelike level of NetHack contains two percent signs.

# [[Food]] is colons '''<tt>:</tt>'''. (Hack uses '''<tt>%</tt>''', but NetHack uses '''<tt>:</tt>''' for food and corpses at the roguelike special level. Thus, NetHack players might sometimes confuse food and corpses at this level with [[newt]]s or other [[lizard]]-like [[monsters]].)

Wikipedia
Wikipedia has an article about:

A roguelike computer game is one that resembles Rogue. See Gameinfo:Roguelike.

The original Rogue game featured a thief who entered the dungeon to steal the Amulet of Yendor. A free clone called Hack retained the Amulet, but introduced some features including a pet dog and multiple roles (classes). The six roles in Hack are Tourist, Speleologist, Fighter, Knight, Cave-man, and Wizard.

The game NetHack has added several features to Hack, including both the Rogue class and the Rogue level.

List of roguelike games

  • Rogue
    • Moria
      • Umoria
      • Angband
        • ZAngband
        • ToME: Troubles/Tales of Middle Earth
        • MAngband
        • ...and so many other Angband variants
    • Linley's Dungeon Crawl
      • Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup
    • Hack
    • The Caves of Larn
      • Ultra Larn

    • IVAN: Iter Vehemens ad Necem
    • Mysterious Dungeon - A long-running series of commercial roguelikes.
    • Dwarf Fortress

Though Diablo borrowed much from the roguelike genre, it is not usually considered a roguelike itself. There is a roguelike based on it, however.

RogueBasin also has a more complete list of roguelikes.
