Falcon's Eye: a Make-over for Nethack

    How about asking "When will Falcon's Eye actually be updated to work with Nethack 3.4.0?"

    Anybody know what NetHack's relation to Rogue is? The games are incredibly similar.

    This is YEARS old.

    Well, actually, the interview with Jaacko Peltonen is from yesterday, and the article by Howard Wen is from two weeks ago, so while Falcon's Eye may have been around for several years, this posting from slashdot is actually quite recent.

    Regarding your second point about nethack purists, any nethack player can choose whatever display they want. But if someone wants to look at a pic of a wizard instead of @ then they have that CHOICE.
