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?).
