If anyone has direct access to the developers, could you ask them to release an version of Nethack? I swear to God, I never get tired of getting massacred in that game (or dying from falling off my horse, down stairs, etc.).

The controller has like 3 buttons.

If Final Fantasy and other older games can have submenus and the ability to select individual characters to name objects, so can ports of old games on new systems.

I really kind of doubt it’s even possible to make a game as complex as nethack on anything like a traditional 8-bit system but maybe something like Powder?

Had never heard of Powder before, but it looks like a well-crafted submission despite its minor differences from Nethack. Might have to check back in with it when I have more time.
