I know there have been roguelike threads before, but I recently went to play ADOM and discovered tilesets had been implemented within the last year. I was surprised, couldn't find a thread here about it. So I'm sharing. Lately I've been playing (all with tiles):
Ancient Domains of Mystery
Dungeon-crawling, much randomly-generated. Was ASCII forever. Almost 20 years old!
http://www.adom.de/
Unreal World
Great sandbox-wilderness-survival set in iron-age Finland. Older than 20 years! As of now, 3.17 is the latest stable release, and you can slightly improve the tileset with a custom pack in the forums. My favorite. Good tutorial.

DoomRL
Now with tileset!, and awesome DOOM soundtrack remix and sound effects. Dungeon-crawler with guns, rocket-launcher and a chainsaw, pinkies, etc.
http://doom.chaosforge.org/
Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead
Zombie apocalypse, sandbox, crafting, vehicles, guns, spears, bionics, mutations, portals and creatures from the nether. Highly configurable. There are a number of tilesets available in addition to those included in the base package. Increasingly left4dead-style special zombies, but you can also set it to just classic Romero zombies.

edit: wanted to add that the STALKER OSTs make a nice background for this game.
More games with tilesets, like Tales of Maj-Eyal, Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, and Nethack, of course.
