Ten bucks buys you an awful lot of dungeon-hacking -- it sure ain't NetHack but
it ain't bad.

NetHack Quotes

Nethack is one of my all-time favorite games, one I've been
playing since 1200 baud was smokin' fast.

-- Actor Wil Wheaton,
http://www.wilwheaton.net


In short, NetHack 3.1.3 is the most elaborate role-playing
environment you are ever likely to explore.  This is a place to
return again and again, each time for a different experience.
You're really going to have to play it for a year or two and
see for yourself.

-- "Fatal Distractions" by David Gerrold



Thank you for the latest release of gradewrecker.  My GPA just
went in the corner and shot itself.
