NetHack is a roguelike computer game originally released in 1987. It is an evolution of an earlier game called Hack (1985) which was itself an evolution of Rogue (1980). The "net" element references that its development has been coordinated through the Internet, which was notable at the time; it is not a multiplayer game. (The NetBSD operating system and the Netpbm package carry "net" in their names for a similar reason.) The "hack" element refers to a genre of role-playing games known as hack and slash for their focus on combat.
NetHack is one of the oldest computer games still being actively developed, with new features and bug fixes regularly being added by a loose group of volunteer developers, commonly called the DevTeam.
The player takes the part of a dungeon-delving hero in search of the Amulet of Yendor. The dungeon spans over 50 levels, most of which are randomly created. The dungeon contains monsters, weaponry, magical items, hidden doors and much more.

I didn't know that you could practice magic skills by reading scrolls in #slashem. Can you do it in #Nethack too?

i love how rogue/nethack has a command: "Fight until either of you is dead." it's sort of a metaphor. When will the nethack movie come out?
