The ultimate computer game for the imagination.
That sounds like a pretty outlandish title, huh … but I mean what I say. By accident as much as design, Nethack has evolved as a game that is uniquely suited to exercise the imagination. It takes place in a complicated, colorful world, and it describes that world using a method that shows you exactly what’s going on … but which also demands - insists - that you use your creative skills to visualize, hear, and feel the environment. This unique game doesn’t draw you into itself - it compels you to draw yourself into it.
