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.

Whelp, it's almost been a full decade since 3.4.3. Is it time to start directing people to UnNetHack yet?
No game like the other
Every nethack game is a surprise, even after years.
Endless.
There is always more to discover in nethack, and always another strange manner in which to die…
