I found Falcon's Eye (graphical NetHack fork, based upon older 3.1.3)
a while back, but no precompiled DOS binary existed. It claimed to
support DOS, so today, for laughs, I gave it a try. Sure, there was a
silly hardcoded path in the makefile as well as one omitted dependency
(jtp_keys.*) that made me manually copy a file to another dir.
Otherwise, it built and ran fine (DOSBox 0.73) albeit without sound
(not supported on DOS, doh). It's isometric, 3d-ish, uses the mouse.
So, if you like roguelikes or NetHack or that kind of thing, give it a
try. I don't know what I'm doing when I play it (seem to run around
aimlessly, can't find doors easily), but hey, it seems like it could
be fun. Not updated since 2001, though.

P.S. Finally got to the Elven Halls in DC:SS last night, but Roxanne
killed me.   :-P
