Hail Nystul,
I believe I have Rogue installed somewhere about my system; it's pretty easy to find online at any rate :) I agree though: `roguelike' is typically reserved for ASCII hacks, but more loosely it is sometimes used for all dungeon crawls. Ultima is not really a dungeon crawl: it's considered one of the greatest RPG serials of all time. Personally I think it's over-rated though. Tried, thought it was pretty ordinary, tried again, gave up and played FFVI again ;)
Oh, and someone mentioned earlier that they felt Earthbound was under-rated. I read a while back that it was actually voted the most under-appreciated RPG of all time... however it was also voted one of the worst 10 console games of all time in the same survey ;) That's another one I tried and did not find particularly appealing.

May the wind pick up your heels and your sword strike true.
