An ASCII "hack and slash" based game, of the genre "dungeon crawler". "Hack and slash" denotes oen of the game's requirements: Killing things (monsters, in this case) until you level up enough to continue.

The primary goal of this game is to retrieve the "amulet of Yendor" for your character's god, and after retrieving it (from the deepest level of an extremely large dungeon), carrying it all the way back up and through 5 planes.

The game has multiple thousand references to fantasy books and games, such as "Hack", another "hack and slash game", Lord of the Rings (a fantasy series by J.R.R Tolkein), and Dungeons and Dragons.

Many game completions ("ascensions") require over 12 hours of gameplay, and Nethack is known as one of the most difficult to beat games of all time.

A Nethaka is usually a really idiotic person. They usually like to be annoying but can also be really nice. They have a soft spot for nice girls but like to dump them. Nethakas are just idiots.
Wow stop being a Nethaka!

nethaka is an ABSOLUTE IDIOT! he seems so nice on the outside but on the inside he is a devil. once he gets close to you, he will start doing stupid things like talking about you behind your back to people you're also close with to make them hate you, but because his brain is about only half the size of a single grain of sand, he somehow doesn't think you will find out. nethaka spreads fake rumours and tries to make people hate you. if you know a nethaka, STAY AWAY FROM THAT IDIOT!
ugh don't be such a nethaka. idiot, smh.
