'''''Vulture's''''' refers to two graphical versions of popular [[roguelike]] [[computer games]]:
* '''''Vulture's Eye''''', a graphical version of ''[[NetHack]]''
* '''''Vulture's Claw''''', a graphical version of ''[[Slash'EM]]''
Both feature [[Isometric projection|isometric graphics]], whereas the games upon which they are based offer two-dimensional text- or tile-based interfaces.
The ''Vulture's'' games are [[Fork (software development)|forks]] of the ''[[Falcon's Eye]]'' project; over the standard ''Falcon's Eye'' base and the optional use of the ''Slash'EM'' core, ''Vulture's'' incorporates the latest core sources, hundreds more graphics and sounds, many bugfixes and performance enhancements, and an open, collaborative development environment.
In April 2006, ''Vulture's'' 2.0.0 was released as an involved rewrite of the old core. The game now works with true transparency, 24-bit color, and relies extensively on [[Simple DirectMedia Layer|SDL]] for its core drawing routines.
The latest version is available for [[Mac OS X]], [[Unix]], and [[Microsoft Windows]].
