Angband
Angband has lots of variants. Some easier, some harder. This has a "no die" option where you are teleported to town (but with no equipment?), as well as option to regenerate levels without anything good in them ("autoscum"). Items with "free action" prevent you from being paralyzed or stunned. Old site: http://thangorodrim.angband.org/ [Report a dead link]

Zangband
Based on Angband, and uses the Amber universe for a setting. Skills upgraded with more practice. I liked Zangband because it had colored ascii characters, including several for the jungle (short grass, long grass, trees, bushes, impassable jungle, dirt, etc.). It's also like a giant map (one view, close up) where you go from city to city. Also at http://thangorodrim.angband.org/, http://www.thangorodrim.net/. [Report a dead link]
