/nethak/ , n. [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 organized by Mike Stephenson. There is now an official site at
|
|
|
|
|
http://www.nethack.org/. See also moria , rogue , Angband.
