An excellent rpg rouglelike game
to quote wikipedia
NetHack is a single-player roguelike computer game originally released in 1987. It is an evolution of an earlier game called Hack (1985), which was an evolution of Rogue (1980). The "net" element references that its development has been coordinated through the Internet[1]. The "hack" element refers to a genre of role-playing games known as hack and slash for their focus on combat. The player takes the part of a dungeon-diving character in search of the Amulet of Yendor. The dungeon spans over 50 levels, most of which are randomly generated.
NetHack is open source and one of the oldest computer games still being actively developed, with new features and bug fixes regularly being added by a loose but secretive group of volunteer developers, commonly called the DevTeam.
NetHack is traditionally played using text mode graphics where the dungeon's features, inhabitants, and items are all represented by single ASCII characters. There are also several graphical user interfaces available for the game.
