NetHack is a classic Unix game which is very popular among hackers
Vultures eye is a port that is based on Falcons eye and essentially keeps this project going just with a new name and based on the newest build of nethack 3.4.
The game can be downloaded from
http://www.darkarts.co.za/vulture
If you are using ubuntu you need 2 of the Ubuntu deb(ian) packages
vulture-nethack_2.3.67-1_i386.deb and vulture-data_2.3.67-1_all.deb
Once downloaded save to a useful location e.g ~/vulture
You need to install the data first otherwise you get an error
sudo dpkg -i vulture-data_2.3.67-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i vulture-data_2.3.67-1_all.deb
Run with vulture-nethack
You can download the source code from github and compile your self which does open up the possibility this can run on the raspberry pi which would be cool.
man page called up with
man vulture-nethack
