Is Roguelikes a Fancy Simulator?

I think rogelikes are the only games i ave really seen that have managed to combine game play and and this epic feeling. When you cut away the graphics, or you make graphics a less important thing, then youare l going to usually end up with a more interesting game. I'm trying to think of counter examples. Whenever i hear i and have searched like that, i i instinctively start thinking of try to think of things to refute it. But i'll let you know whan i do. Te b aving, come forth.
