The full name is:
Slaves to Armok: God of Blood
Chapter II: Dwarf Fortress

Incredibly fun and diverse rogue-like with random levels. Can you live 100 years? Can you live 1 year without a horse catching fire? Will your dwarves keep out goblin invaders? Can you build a huge waterproof walled fortress around a human city, then dig into the aquifer, thereby killing all inhabitants of the nasty human city? Can your city survive off of living on cat and dog meat? You can find out!

Dependencies: DirectX (DirectDraw specifically, see Regshot info)
Notes: Fairly CPU intensive, despite the fact that it's text based. Oh, that reminds me. You can also get graphical tilesets for the game.

Sort of pleased to see this program's website is still surprisingly active with a new release earlier this year. I've never understood rogue games, but it looks cool.
