I am pleased to announce that GnomeHack 1.0.0 has now been
released.

GnomeHack is a Gnome port of NetHack — the popular role-playing
game based loosely on Advanced Dungeons and Dragons(tm). If you
have ever played any role-playing games, you probably know how much
fun they can be, and NetHack is the greatest (IMHO) of all the
Rogue-like games.
