It's like having an endless universe (with infinite replayability) of fantasy and adventure available all the time everywhere.

I read in another thread someone saying that some apps from OS2008 would be installable on Maemo 5 without modifications. If that's true, I hope it's the case with Nethack.
The nethack game is a true port to hildon, in the sense that it attempts to make the game playable with just stylus. This is a comparatively audacious undertaking requiring a lot of UI work and coding.

For real roguelike players like Addison, a true console build is trivial to do, needing mainly some remapping of commands to fit user preferences on N810/N900 keyboard or Bluetooth KBD.
