The Web of rogue-like influence (from Classic Major to Major)

Most data is from http://roguebasin.roguelikedevelopment.org/
with the exception of the Rogue Influence on Omega which is from the cat file in the omega src.
I threw in the games listed at http://forums.roguetemple.com/index.php?topic=3590.15
things that are Rogue-style games are red circles things that are not are blue.
what games are important but missing from the graph?

Stink Warrior (A Rogue-Style Game)

I wrote a Rogue-Like these past 3.5 days making it half of a 7drl to test some concepts before implementing them in the more complicated Goblin Men. 

 You have heroically battled through twenty-six levels of evil slaughtering all that would stand in your way. (Except for those blind naked mole rats they did not trouble you and your alignment is lawful good so there would have been experience penalties) You Vacuumed up every useful potion, wand, ring, scroll, weapon and scrap of armor. luckily so, your epic battle against the Dark Under-Lord Demon Emperor Balrog-Wizard Master Lich Lobh-Se of Yendor required nearly every bit of it. You were nearly broken beaten and cursed within an inch of your life. you were soaked in demon ichor and bile so now you just have to make it home with the cure for you daughers dianthroritis and take a long hot anachronistic shower to get this awful stink off of you. You have won .... boy do you smell bad

I don't plan on "supporting it" but I thought it was funny so here it is for download
            STINK WARRIOR 
Goblin Men continues a pace the next version has sound.

[fixed the 8,2 reversal on the num-pad and put and tweaked the "balance"];
