[[File:Nethack.gif|250px|right|thumb|NetHack]] '''''NetHack''''' is an open source [[roguelike]] adventure game. NetHack evolved from [[Hack]], and has been in continuous development for nearly twenty years. The first version of NetHack was released on [[July 28]], [[1987]]. NetHack is characterized by its many surprising events. Dipping, quaffing, scrawling, and many other actions can often have hilarious and/or infuriating results. This has yielded the popular phrase, "The Dev Team Thinks of Everything." (TDTTOE) ==Roles== Nethack features 13 roles which serve as the base of your avatar's starting abilities. * Archeologist * Barbarian * Caveman/Cavewoman * Healer * Knight * Monk * Priest/Priestess * Rogue * Ranger * Samurai * Tourist * Valkyrie * Wizard Roles also restrict races and alignments that your avatar may pick from. ==Races== Nethack features 5 races which help determine your starting statistics and abilities, as well as how you get along with the various creatures that populate the Mazes of Menace. * Dwarves * Elves * Gnomes * Humans * Orcs ==External links== * the [http://www.nethack.org official Nethack website] * [http://nethack.gamepedia.com/ Wikihack], the NetHack wiki at Wiki<!--interwiki links don't seem to work--> [[Category:Windows games]] [[Category:Unix games]] [[Category:Linux games]] [[Category:Roguelikes]]
