  • NetHack 3.6.6 Update! - 19 August 2021

    Finally! A long time coming ... NetHack 3.6.6 The underlying game engine, for NetHack, has been updated to the most recent version of NetHack bringing Vulture back up to date with the most recent underlying NetHack game engine. NetHack 3.4.3 has been left playable, if there are those of you that prefer the older engine, and of course if you have the Slash'EM DLC then Slash'EM 0.0.7E7F2 is there as well. All engines, including the newer NetHack 3.6.6 will benefit from several updates to Vulture itself mainly around stability with all known causes of crashes now (hopefully) removed and a thing of the past. Important notes: In order to make this project easier to maintain in the future, a few file structures have been altered and moved around. If you want to continue playing NetHack 3.4.3 or Slash'EM 0.0.7E7F2 games with your existing bones and/or savegames you will need to move those bone…

  • NetHack 3.6.0 has arrived! - 26 December 2015

    NetHack 3.6.0 is now available to play. Also, there are some changes to NetHack 3.4.3 as well as Slash'EM - most significant being the change of the way the map looks (when pressing TAB) and the complete removal of the intro video which was far too loud for most people and annoying to watch each time you start a new game. Please note regarding NetHack 3.6.0: This is still a BETA and there might still be issues we did not detect during testing. If you find any issues at all, with NetHack 3.6.0, please let us know on the NetHack 3.6.0 Forum Thread so we can try resolve as fast as possible. Enjoy playing and Happy Holidays to everyone!

  • Vulture for Slash'EM is here! - 9 June 2015

    The free DLC adding a second game engine, Vulture for Slashem, is now available! Slash'EM, or, Super Lots of Added Stuff Hack with Extra Magic makes many changes to the base NetHack game, adding not only what listed below, but a whole lot more including even obscure dungeon items like guns and light sabres: Six new player roles Five new player races Several new special levels Many new monsters, items and artifacts Loads of other small changes. The main dungeon is longer in Slash'EM than in NetHack and most people regard Slash'EM as much more difficult than NetHack. There's an old saying that goes: "NetHack doesn't care if you live or die, but Slash'EM wants you dead". Additionally the base NetHack game has also had some patches applied to stability, a few people suffered crashes at or near startup. We bundled these fixes into both Slash'EM and NetHack engines and this should hopefully r…

Short description

Vulture for NetHack is an isometric graphical interface for the roguelike engine: NetHack.

About this game

NetHack Nethack is the most celebrated member of the ancient and honorable family of games descended from Rogue and hence known as “roguelike”: bare-bones ASCII-graphics adventures set in randomly generated dungeons, in which the player fights monsters and collects items until he or she dies. Vulture Vulture for NetHack in an isometric graphical interface for the roguelike engine: NetHack. Wrapping the original ASCII text dungeons of NetHack, Vulture brings this great game into the graphical point and click world while still preserving the original keyboard commands for those wishing to play as it was intended. The adventure Recently, you have begun to find yourself unfulfilled and distant in your daily occupation. Strange dreams of prospecting, stealing, crusading, and combat have haunted you in your sleep for many months, but you aren't sure of the reason. You wonder whether you have in fact been having those dreams all your life, and somehow managed to forget about them until now. Some nights you awaken suddenly and cry out, terrified at the vivid recollection of the strange and powerful creatures that seem to be lurking behind every corner of the dungeon in your dream. Could these details haunting your dreams be real? As each night passes, you feel the desire to enter the mysterious caverns near the ruins grow stronger. Each morning, however, you quickly put the idea out of your head as you recall the tales of those who entered the caverns before you and did not return. Eventually you can resist the yearning to seek out the fantastic place in your dreams no longer. After all, when other adventurers came back this way after spending time in the caverns, they usually seemed better off than when they passed through the first time. And who was to say that all of those who did not return had not just kept going? Asking around, you hear about a bauble, called the Amulet of Yendor by some, which, if you can find it, will bring you great wealth. One legend you were told even mentioned that the one who finds the amulet will be granted immortality by the gods. The amulet is rumored to be somewhere beyond the Valley of Gehennom, deep within the Mazes of Menace. Upon h…

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $9.99
  • Highest observed: $9.99

Vulture for NetHack's USD price history spans from Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $9.99, the highest is $9.99, and the first visible tracked price is $9.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Vulture for NetHack's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $9.99, from Sep 23, 2026 through Sep 23, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $9.99. The latest run records $9.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $9.99
  • Current list price: $9.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Vulture for NetHack at $9.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
