NetHack's user interface is primarily ASCII. Graphical interfaces based on tiles are available for nearly all platforms, and some platforms have exotic interfaces such as Falcon's Eye, Vulture's Eye and glHack.
A screenshot of the ASCII interface is below. Click on some parts to find out what they mean.
Velkommen Player, the dwarven Valkyrie, welcome back to NetHack!
