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
Game theme:Fantasy
Game features:Singleplayer
Game modes:Campaign

Whelp, it's almost been a full decade since 3.4.3. Is it time to start directing people to UnNetHack yet?

There is always more to discover in nethack, and always another strange manner in which to die…
