Procedural Death Labyrinth -- the new name for Rougelike-lite-likes?

from another thread.

Procedurally Generated Roguelike Indie Action Platfomer, which they then correct to “Randomized Roguelike Indie Action Game” (as if randomized is that different from procedurally generated…).

What does Roguelike mean here if not procedurally generated?!?!?!?!/1?12?2"?1"!? You can die and it’s game over? Is Mario a 3-times-roguelike? Arghhhhhhh. Stop killing the term.

I agree with you all that “Procedural Death Labyrinth” is a mouthful. Maybe Tom should make up a term and use it on the frontpage of QT3 when he gives a game 1 star? That’ll help spread the term far and wide.
