It features a hero wandering around in a virtual world, acquiring equipment, items, and money, in the hopes of completing some goal or quest. In the case of NetHack, the goal is to retrieve the Amulet of Yendor from the depths of the dungeon, where upon you must return and sacrifice the amulet to your god.
