Go to nethack.org my friend.

Zanathos@lemmy.world 21 hours agoAfter looking this up, I have apparently been playing a remix of this in the form of PixelDungeon, then moved onto the now superior Shattered Pixel Dungeon running 7 challenge mode.
If you’ve played these, how do they compare to Nethack as I won’t be able to give it a go for a few days?

Nethack is bigger, has more stuff, more interactions, takes longer and more systems. SPD is like a distilled version, maybe streamlined even. However I find that the OG with curses interface and ASCII monsters engages my imagination more.
There are NH variants as well (like PD -> SPD). I am trying Unnethack rn as well as evilhack.

Nethack is the original. It has almost everything. I was playing many years ago when you could use a pickaxe to rob a shop. Then cops were introduced and I kept doing it anyway and collecting rubber hoses. Then you couldn’t dig the walls anymore, so I had to teleport out with my loot.
Don’t read the wiki at first… And try to be creative.

That sounds very interesting and evolved lol. I will give it a go for sure.
