Now they call it nethack, they used to just call it hack. It's the ultimate unix time sink. It's a game. Return from the dungeon carrying the Amulet of Yendor. It's been a long time so I downloaded fresh sources and fired it up. Damn. Won't recognize any of my terminal settings. That means I have to use h,j,k,l to get around. Damn. The X11 and Gnome options don't work on my box - even though I have both. I really dislike using h,j,k,l to get around. I want cursor keys. Looks like I'll have to fix the darn thing. Again. Last time I did this was ten years ago. Sigh. See what I mean about buggy software? Glad they aren't using MVC. On the positive side I've got some notes from when I last attempted  to make this thing work on a Sun-3 terminal. [1986-1987].

Maybe I shouldn't bother. I've aced this game. I walked out of the dungeon with the Amulet of Yendor. Fifteen years ago. No small feat. Don't want to talk about it. I could tell you stories about the dungeon,  but you need to discover it on your own.
