Nethack!

Does anyone here play Nethack?
In case you don't know what it is, it's a game similar to Dungeons & Dragons, you pick a class, race, gender, and you traverse a dungeon.
You kill monsters, get items, use magic and strategy to get to the end and get the amulet of Yendor.
I personally, have never been able to get to the end, even though I've been playing for more then a YEAR! That's how hard it is! :shock:
Since Nethack is usually played in a terminal version, which looks like this:

I prefer playing a tiled version called the vulture's eye. (an earlier version exists, called the Falcon's eye)
It looks like this:
