    For those who are unfamiliar with it:

    NetHack is a bit like Diablo, but turn-based, single-player, very light on graphics, harder, and far more complex in game mechanics. People who have played it for decades are still discovering new things.

    What is NetHack?

    NetHack is a single player dungeon exploration game that runs on a wide variety of computer systems, with a variety of graphical and text interfaces all using the same game engine. Unlike many other Dungeons & Dragons-inspired games, the emphasis in NetHack is on discovering the detail of the dungeon and not simply killing everything in sight - in fact, killing everything in sight is a good way to die quickly. Each game presents a different landscape - the random number generator provides an essentially unlimited number of variations of the dungeon and its denizens to be discovered by the player in one of a number of characters: you can pick your race, your role, and your gender.
