What is the greatest terminal game ever written?

I guess rogue, adom, nethack would be popular answers; probably the entire infocom catalog?

They're not really my cup of tea, the game I've enjoyed the most is probably asciiportal.

ascii-patrol is impressive. https://github.com/msokalski/ascii-patrol
