Nethack is a role-playing dungeon-exploration game. Originally developed for unix systems in the mid 1980's, it is one of the oldest games in continuous development. Many Nethack fanatics consider it to be the best computer game ever made.

Nethack was designed with a keyboard interface and a large screen in mind, so the gp2x port includes extensive interface changes to adapt the gp2x screen and controls to this classic game.
