NetHack features a variety of items: weapons (melee or ranged), armor to protect the player, scrolls and spellbooks to read, potions to quaff, wands, rings, amulets, and an assortment of tools, such as keys and lamps. NetHack's identification of items is almost identical to Rogue's. For example, a newly discovered potion may be referred to as a 'pink potion' with no other clues as to its identity. 'NetHack is a single player dungeon exploration game. Your goal is to grab as much treasure as you can, retrieve the Amulet of Yendor, and escape the Mazes of Menace alive.' - iNethack2 is an iOS port of Nethack.
