The 16th most popular adventure/RPG game on Mac OS X

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 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. The "hack" element refers to a genre of role-playing games known as hack and slash for their focus on combat.

    It is Nethack. This game was made by the Gods themselves. Anything less than five stars, and I would probably be dead.

    I have played this game since early eighties. It's not the best game ever but I sometimes get hooked. If you don't like dying -- make a copy of your savefile.

    I die a lot too. It's a great game. The controls are a bit excessive; I keep forgetting all the keys and combinations that I don't need often; and if I haven't played a while, all of them.

    I tried playing this, but I just can't get into it. Guess I'm not a true geek.
