NetHack

Release
Version: 
3.4.3
Released: 
7 December 2003

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.


Genre:Role-playing, Roguelike

  • 09:03:39 you caught me.
  • 15:27:36 Thanks, berserk, added the game & screens
  • 16:20:04 BTW, one more interesting Kickstarter project: [url]
  • 16:20:29 Linux version requires 100K donations
  • 16:21:25 not that much for a good looking RPG in my opinion
  • 10:56:58 Upd: authors said that Linux port will be released anyway, even if they don't gather 100K, so feel free to support it
