For all you guys playing with Unix for the last 25 years, you
certainly have heard of one the best — and toughest — RPG (Role
Playing Game) for computer made ever, namely, NetHack.

The text-oriented RPG is still being developed and ported and
adapted, the latest release being 3.3.1 and can be found at
nethack.org/.

Now, true, it doesn’t look very pretty. So not pretty that a
bunch of people have make graphical interfaces to run under your X
window (Qt port
of Nethack
; Gnome port of
Nethack
). It’s neat but still a bit fade, and still very much
keyboard oriented… you can almost forget your mouse with those
ports.

Now has come the real stuff though: Jaakko Peltonen’s “Falcon’s
Eye Nethack.” Wanna see what a great adventure games looks like
with a great interface? Follow the link. Even music is supported!
Now Nethack in 2d iso and music exists and it’s called Falcon’s Eye
Nethack.
