Well, _I_ do!  The only game I play these days in nethack 3.1.3, which is
available on my Unix system here at work.  I'd love to see a version of this
ported to the IIgs (or indeed, a 8-bit II), but I haven't the time or skill
to do it.  Given that the source code is free and is designed to run
on a 80x24 VT100 (among other things), a bare bones implementation should
be possible.

Has anyone thought about such an undertaking?

Cheers,
