umm, you could try NetHack 3.0, a vastly superior descendant of
rogue and hack (unix games).

eventually, the final version will get posted to various boards
and what-have-you but for now you can grab the latest, greatest
version by anonymous ftp at "linc.cis.upenn.edu" (130.91.6.8).
cd pub/NH3.0/mac
mget *    {3 files: NH3.09.hqx, NH3.09.doc and README.mac}
quit

it runs on the mac plus thru the mac IIfx and requires a hard drive
with ~1MB free space for the game folder and ~1MB free space for each
potentially complete saved game and would like a 1MB partition under
MultiFinder (only requires 750kB) and, of course, appropriate system
software (like 6.0.2 or better).

the NH3.09.hqx file is a BinHex 4.0 encoded, Stuffit archive of the
dungeon, guidebook and related files.  enjoy!
