Slash'EM (Super Lotsa Added Stuff Hack -- Extended Magic) is a variant of the hugely popular roguelike game NetHack. It adds more monsters, more objects, more dungeon levels, more roles, and more races, shopkeeper services, and techniques for you to use, and invisible objects and gypsies for those who feel lucky. It also comes with a GTK windowing interface and higher resolution tile sets as options.
