Falcon's Eye is a version of the roguelike video game NetHack which introduces isometric graphics and mouse control.[3] Falcon's Eye has been praised for improving NetHack's visuals and audio to an almost commercial level[3] and has been noted by Linux Journal as among the best free games available.[4] After development stalled in 2001, the game was continued as Vulture's Eye and later Vulture for Nethack.
