As amusing and torturous as they can be, I suggest we don't open that particular can of worms. Hell, Nethack is apparently one of the easier roguelikes around, and even that's (borderline) impossible to beat without extensive knowledge of the game, its inner workings and/or savescumming. I Wanna Be The Guy is notorious for its brutal difficulty, yet it's simple and easy compared to some of the more monstrous roguelike abominations I've seen.
E: Oh yeah, and the DL link for IWBTG:
