Flash NetHack

Description

A Flash interface for the classic dungeon exploration game NetHack. Unlike other games the emphasis in NetHack is on discovering the detail of the dungeon and not simply killing everything in sight - in fact, killing everything in sight is a good way to die quickly.

NetHack is a very deep and very fun game but also very, very challenging.

How to Play

Use the keyboard for everything.
*Use shift+? for in game help*
You can use the number pad or hjkl keys for movement.
NetHack is a big game so it will take some getting used to.

If you are having trouble kicking (ctrl+d) because your browser is interfering try ctrl+s
