"Previously known as Vulture's Eye and Vulture's Claw, 'Vulture' in an isometric graphical interface for NetHack, Slash'EM and UnNetHack. Developed by Dark Art Studios, Vulture provides a mouse-driven interface that enhances the visuals, audio and accessibility of the game, yet retains all the original gameplay and game features. The latest version of Vulture was released in April.

"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 and ASCII art. 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"
