NetHack

games /net'hak/ (Unix) A dungeon game similar to rogue but

more elaborate, distributed in C source over Usenet and

very popular at Unix sites and on PC-class machines

(nethack is probably the most widely distributed of the

freeware dungeon games). The earliest versions, written by

Jay Fenlason and later considerably enhanced by Andries

Brouwer, were simply called "hack". The name changed when

maintenance was taken over by a group of hackers originally

organised by Mike Stephenson.

Version: NetHack 3.2 (Apr 1996?).
