(I can't find it in my files right now, but I distinctly remember the author dealing with odd room shapes, corridors, T-intersections, and so on.) And hexes are enormously important to TFT's tactical combat simulation -- without them it not only wouldn't be the same, it also wouldn't work nearly as well.

Are you thinking of an offset checkerboard? Where each row is offset from the columns above & below by half the width of a space?

(I just spent 20 minutes trying to draw it in ASCII: HTML editor is not cooperating.)
