Nethack is not dead (nethack.org)

I have given up on Nethack. Playing UnNetHack or sometimes Nethack 4. If they release something I will check it out, but I am not holding my breath.

EDIT: Just found out one of the new guys are the developer of Nethack 4. Might be interesting after all.

I just play Dwarf Fortress.

"But wait! Nethack's medallion begins to glow..."
