In "Exploring the ASCII Dungeon", we examine the non-graphical interfaces of various roguelikes. Here we look at Attack the Geth, an entrant in the 2013 edition of the Seven Day Roguelike Challenge, and it unconventional use of font.

Attack the Geth is by Eben Howard: http://squidpony.com/computer-games/attack-geth/ (NOTE: I am playing version 1.1.)

EDIT: as it turns out, the new post-7DRL version of the game give a choice between this font and a more traditional font. I'm a little sad, because I actually love this font choice, but perhaps we'll explore that later too.
