SpurguX is a Finnish humorous roguelike video game developed by Petri Niska in 1987. It was originally developed for MS-DOS and has later been ported to Unix.

According to the manual, SpurguX is an "adventure game based on real life, where the anti-hero progresses through city districts looking for a bottle of brandy, which is rumoured to be located on stage 50, accompanied only by a great thirst". The player advances among the roguelike tradition from one stage to the next accumulating equipment, killing "monsters" and trying to survive. One of the most common causes of death is hangover, which occurs when the player's blood alcohol level drops too low. Because of this, the player must constantly maintain the character's alcohol intoxication level by acquiring and drinking alcoholic beverages. Most stages have points that have to be collected before advancing to the next stage, as well as a random collection of non-player characters, items and buildings.
