The Nethack devteam has just released v3.4.0. Release notes are here. They've done some bugfixes and tweaks to the engine as well as added a couple of features and some balancing. One of the features that's quite useful is highlighting your pet (very helpful if you've ever been killed by a kitten you thought was yours ). Saves and bones are not compatible with previous versions.
If you don't know what Nethack is, well then you've never experienced one of the best games ever made . Nethack is a turn-based dungeon crawl, the goal of which is to find the Amulet of Yendor in order to achieve immortality. It has been around for over 15 years and is rendered in stunning colour ASCII text (graphical interfaces are available but I've never tried them and don't wish to). The complexity of the game can't be overstated; the creators seem to have thought of everything. All in all, a must play for every serious (and even not-so-serious) gamer.
