Rogue is on the iPhone. Nethack and Dwarf Fortress would be amazing. Does anyone have any inside info?

Nethack is probably doable. Dwarf Fortress isn't open-source, and would probably bog down badly on the iPhone without significant modifications.

Yes, Nethack should be doable. It already runs on some smartphones [1]. The most pressing problem seems to be the limited methods of input. Nethack bears many similarities to Vi in the user interface, and I need a full keyboard to enjoy it.
