I feel really stupid now :p Cant get one of my favorite games in it's proper form xD I tried the ones from the repo, none of them are the text version, they're all using tiles :( If anyone could tell me where to get the ASCII version of Nethack, I'd love it :D

nethack-console.

Least that's its name in Gutsy (it's in Universe).

It's an awesome Rouglike (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roguelike) which evolved from Hack (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hack_%28video_game%29) which evolved from Rogue (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_%28computer_game%29).
It's a pretty old game, but theres still people developing them, since theres tons of other evolutions, like Mines of Moria, ToME, Incursion and Crawl, just to name a few. Too bad many people these days tend to think that they suck because they got no graphics, just text :(
But you should really give it a try, you can get Rogue, hack and crawl by typing them in apt-get install ;) And use nethack-console for nethack.
