Falcon’s Eye – port of NetHack with added eye candy

Falcon’s Eye is an enhanced, highly graphical window port (user interface) for NetHack. Falcon’s Eye does not change the content or gameplay of NetHack, but adds a lot of ‘eye candy’ to the game.

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.

Features include:

• High-res, 256-color isometric graphics with real-time lighting.
• Retains all NetHack features.
• Customizable digitized sound effects.
• Symphonic MIDI soundtrack.
• Mouse-driven interface (keyboard play also works).
• Interface aids (including autopilot and mouseover identification).
• Customizable command keys.
• HTML manual.
