Glenn R. Wichman is best known as one of the creators of Rogue (1980), the ASCII dungeon crawl that helped name an entire genre. With Michael Toy at UC Santa Cruz, he helped design a game whose dungeons were different every run—something rare when most adventures were fixed.
The biographical summary below is abbreviated. Glenn's full late-90s homepage lives in the archive.
