That's right folks, it's time once again to attempt the impossible. Can you safely retrieve the Amulet of Yendor and return to the surface?

I am currently a level 8 Energy Vortex
I should be a human Monk, but I wandered over a polymorph trap and, well, now I'm kind of stuck there.
I've died about sixteen times in the last couple of hours, usually right when I enter the Gnomish Mines.
Current deaths:
-Hit by polymorph potion, died of system shock when I turned into a unicorn
-Carrying too much, fell down a flight of stairs and broke my neck.
-Kicked a sink, spawning a pissed off water nymph
-Rubbed a lamp I found, Genie got mad and killed me
-Fell down a trap door, landed on level 30 of the dungeon and got killed by an Ancient Blue Dragon
-Mindflayer ate my brain
-Starved to death
-Potion of blindness caused my pet cat to attack and kill me
-Accidentally shoplifted because I forgot to turn off the autopickup, merchant blasted me to hell.
-Drank from a fountain, confusing me, then killed by a yellow mold
-Paralyzed by Floating Eye, killed by Orc Zombies
-Read an unidentified scroll, burned myself alive.
How well will you do?

Wikipedia identifies Nethack as the following:
NetHack is a single-player roguelike computer game originally released in 1987. It is an evolution of an earlier game called Hack (1985), which was itself an evolution of Rogue (1980). The "net" element references that its development has been coordinated through the Internet, which was notable at the time. The "hack" element refers to a genre of role-playing games known as hack and slash for their focus on combat.
The player takes the part of a dungeon-diving hero in search of the Amulet of Yendor. The dungeon spans over 50 levels, most of which are randomly generated. The dungeon contains monsters, weaponry, magical items, hidden doors and more.
NetHack is open source and one of the oldest computer games still being actively developed, with new features and bug fixes regularly being added by a loose but secretive group of volunteer developers, commonly called the DevTeam.
NetHack is traditionally played using text mode graphics where the dungeon's features, inhabitants, and items are all represented by single ASCII characters. There are also several graphical user interfaces available for the game.

Slightly more graphical, still immensely enjoyable. I got my left arm severed off and then ate it.
When your legs and arms are bitten off, you can still roll around!
lame
Just imagine it. Kicking a kobold, it loses balance, falls back and managed to decapitate itself on a wall, then while dying, the head begins screaming like a tortured hyena.
Did you buy him dinner beforehand? Maybe show up at his door with a nice bouquet of flowers?
I like how my groin bleeding gets a line all to itself.
is that Nethack or IVAN?
I've only played Andband in my time
edit: ok it's IVAN I had to google it before somebody were quick enough to answer
but then again I couldn't google it before I asked about it
weird huh?
Another dream is the classic X-Com on my phone
Too bad Lord Dave stopped working for JamDat
...this game is AWESOME
Follow well in order, get your weapons ready,
Have you your pistols? Have you your sharp-edged axes?
Pioneers! O pioneers!
so are puppies
early on
My record for the shortest game in which I was actively trying to survive is two turns. I made a wizard, took a step from the initial stairwell, stepped on a dart trap, and died from its poison on the subsequent turn.
I could have prayed but I didn't know it was deadly, normally poison just reduces some stat.
Thanks guys!
Also http://alt.org/nethack is good, they run a nethack server you can telnet to and an IRC channel, and you can spectate other people's games and stuff
What does this mean?
No no, I meant what is that. Is it any better? I got addicted to NetHack last night and played for about 3 hours straight. If there is another game like it, I would be interested in checking it out.
Whats the best one in your opinion?
Do you have links?

Sometimes there are hidden doors that lead to the stairs down. "s" to search. Just search a lot and eventually you'll find a hidden door or two.
Too many keys! Rogue is like "arrow keys and a few buttons" Nethack is like "two keyboards required"
