Nethack
Description from store

NetHack is a single player dungeon exploration game that runs on a wide variety of computer systems, with a variety of graphical and text interfaces all using the same game engine. Unlike many other Dungeons & Dragons-inspired games, the emphasis in NetHack is on discovering the detail of the dungeon and not simply killing everything in sight - in fact, killing everything in sight is a good way to die quickly. Each game presents a different landscape - the random number generator provides an essentially unlimited number of variations of the dungeon and its denizens to be discovered by the player in one of a number of characters: you can pick your race, your role, and your gender.

This is Nethack 3.4.3 ported to run under Chrome. There is both a text and a graphical tile mode available. This currently does NOT run on an ARM ChromeBook. Target date for running on ARM is 2014-01-01.

Was really fun, now when I open it it doesn't give me the option to start

Pretty fun, some levels seem impossible. Use the wiki while you play to know what things are.

Very difficult, very fun. The graphical mode for this is an appreciated addition, and even allows for arrow key movement which is a godsend.

Classic!

Persistant state across closed tabs would make this much better.

it was hard figuring it out at first but then it helped be the best at many different mmo games

Wastes a lot of screenspace. It has enough space to display the inventory, but it doesn't. It has some weird holdouts from the ASCII game, such as the arrow keys not working, the "More" pauses, etc. And then there are screens where we have to use the mouse to make a selection. Overall, it's not a "clean" interface.

Cool and Addictive game

According to the other comments, it seems cool, and I really really love Nethack, but when I try to play the graphical game, there's nothing, with "new game", it says: "not implemented yet". I didn't undestand how to use it. I tried a little the non graphical game, I don't know how to activate the numpad direction keys.

Cool, but I really want full screen

It was better than a kitten. I'm going to die in it again and again.
Christoph Lorson
Realy cool! ... but teleporting with CTRL-T doesn't work because this opens a new tab...

A problem I found is when in graphical mode, when say trying to read something, you need to use the mouse to select instead of simply pressing the letter corresponding to that item. Another problem is in text mode, the cursor sometimes just doesn't follow Lost progress somehow ... apparently all my data under my name was lost. Don't know how, but I'm sure I saved in sokoban.

Toshiba CB30 Win. Love the "Options" from the Chrome Panel ... opening up a .nethackrc to edit. (loved it since my VT100 days!)
Marc Meneses
Okay great took me a while to figure out how to change to the numpad movement controls but i got it! A++
Brandon McEntire

River Smith
I don't really understand the concept. It could have been more clear. :)

Refuses to run on Samsung Chromebook.

Great, I may try to translate it to Chinese for the stable release.

Probably most played game for me of all time.
Artem Mukhin
I have Chromium (Debian x64), and game is really doesn't work. I don't know why.
Adam Edwards
needs an option to type commands instead of the drop menus in graphical mode.
Conrad Dunkerson
Works great! On one machine out of 4.
Derick Staggs (kc7wzl)
the graphic version works ok.. but the text version key set makes no sense at all and painful to play.. Tried it on acer C7 chrome book 1.1ghz intel cpu 2gig mem 16gig ssd.

It does not work. I'm running it on an HP G72 notebook PC running Windows.
Andy Bryant
Doesn't work. Samsung Chromebook. It tells me that it requires native client app that doesn't work on my computer. I can see a bar at the top that slides down, and if I click graphical I can see a bunch of stuff, but not the map.
Ricky Adams
Nice version.
Lucius NeoChoJin
Didn't work for me either. Black screen with a few words at the top but nothing clickable, and no keys effect it.
Shimon Vinnik
Very original and fun to play. Saving doesn't seem to work for me though.

i love

This is a gem you either get or don't... and it takes time to get, as learning something each life should be an objective.
Chris G
Too bad it doesn't work on ARM Chromebook.
Henry Spece
hold [alt]+[ctrl] to execute control key commands like ^D, hold [shift]+s to save, and bam! It's just like the real thing!
Angela Doerksen
I have been playing this game for over 6 years - my husband introduced me when I was enormously pregnant and suffering from insomnia. I was hooked! It's always a challenge, and always interesting to play.
Slang
I love it
Raymond
very good~
Abdón Barbeito Pérez
so hard development already required...
Max Caplow
This is awesome! Is there anyway to get the tilesets working on it? *EDIT: Tilesets are now here!!! The dev is one of the best. He sent me a personal email a few days ago telling me this feature was added! It feels just like the real desktop version.

Nethack on chrome! Works 100%, in both offline & online mode. I'm using a chromebook so your mileage may vary. Very happy with the results so far though :)

Saving function does work on my environment. Display was corrupted, because of using non-monospace font. [My environment] - OS: MacOS Lion (10.7.4) - Browser: Chrome 20.0.1132.57
