| | NetHack - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | It is something of a tradition in the #nethack IRC channel on the Freenode server to say, "Go Team Ant!" when the Rodney-bot announces that an alt.org player's character has been killed by an ant. | | | While NetHack is very difficult, veteran players often attempt "conducts", or voluntary restrictions on their behavior tracked by the game. | | | Slackwell.com public NetHack Server, maintains detailed stats, and the ability to watch other players games in real-time. |

| | The NetHack Home Page - Introduction |
| | The game of NetHack is a single player dungeon simulation. | | | NetHack itself is a very complex game, compared to ones such as Moria, Rogue, or Angband (even if it is not necessarily more difficult to win). | | | As opposed to the randomness that is found in the other games, NetHack tends to have set playing patterns that one must follow to win. |

| | Deron's Planet: Nethack |
| | No two Nethack games are the same, the entire voyage is randomly generated. | | | Nethack is turn-based though, so you'll get as much time as you want to contemplate your next move. | | | Breaking the mold of most games which rely on lots of flashy graphics with little substance, Nethack is perhaps the most remarkable game ever despite the almost total lack of surface glitter. |

| | Nethack vs ADOM |
| | Nethack's #adjust command is also very handy - it makes it easy to set things up so that in every game, you can use the same sequence of keys to apply your unicorn horn. | | | Nethack has explore mode and wizard mode, and its source code is available, so if you get curious about any feature of the game, you can experiment or source dive. | | | ADOM is more challenging in the late game than Nethack. |

| | Nethack is a game in which it seems almost impossible when you start, but years of experience and gained wisdom can greatly improve your chances of victory. | | | I should also point out that alt.org's nethack server has a fascinating variety of statistics for games played on that server, including most egregious deaths and ascension percentages by class. | | | Some players are so good at it that they invented the concept (later recognized in the game itself) of "conducts," harder ways of playing that take advantage of subsets of the game's huge set of features. |

| | NetHack Time Spoiler |
| | The date is only checked when the game is started or restored; if you keep playing without saving, you'll continue to see the effects even after the relevant period has passed (or not see the effects even though it has been reached). | | | NetHack is aware of the time in the real world (or, at least, what it's told about it by your system clock); certain particular times have effects on gameplay. | | | NetHack divides the month into eight phases of three or four days each; thus the full and new moon will be reported for a rather longer time than your calendar might depict. |
