Doom, the Roguelike

Doom, the Roguelike turns Doom into a turn-based dungeon crawl. A marine fights through Phobos and Deimos down to Hell, with the shotguns, chainsaws, imps and barons of the original, drawn in text characters. Levels are new each game and death is permanent.

Kornel Kisielewicz released it as freeware. This is the DOS version 0.9.8 from 2005, the first with sound.
