There ought to be spoiler warnings here somewhere, as some of the gameplay features mentioned here do not appear in the game's documentation.
- Good point. Added the warning under Notable creatures. --ZeroOne 10:58, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Dungeon Hack is NOT a clone of Nethack - it's an effort by SSI to create an easier and more randomized version of the Eye of the Beholder CRPG (the engine is the same in both games).
The screenshot should have a status line giving the character's name, class, strength, dexterity and so forth. Also, Angband isn't a Nethack variant (it derives from Moria) - I'll change this.
Ekaterin.
Would it be worth including a screenshot of the GUI version? Lan3y.
Added infamous creatures. Please add more

Links to characters
I have restored the links to the characters. I find they make interesting "what links here"s. -- Error 02:45, 21 May 2004 (UTC)
What about Hearse as well as the public servers?
Do hacked binaries exist?
Do hacked binaries exist?
- Yes! Half the fun of NetHack is applying interesting patches to the game to improve the game experience. And you have to fight the urges to make it like Slash'em. Philip Nilsson
There are too many spoilers
There are too many spoilers mentioned in this document. Part of the charm of the game is not knowing what to do, how to act etc. There are frequent references to things (I am trying to stay vague) that are really hard-won valuable items of knowledge. It is obvious that the writer is a well seasoned expert, and knows too much about the game. A lot of the enjoyment of finding out these things would be ruined after reading this doc. There is plenty of other information that could be put into this article without the spoilers.
- A non-spoiled NetHack article would be quite the challenge. Also, I would not suggest anyone to play unless they had 50 pages of spoilers printed out :p Perhaps some spoiler guideline for this article would be in order -- nothing that is not in the Guidebook?

- I have moved the spoiler tag to just above the "Game" section; not perfect, but some of the information in that section could be considered a spoiler. As User:Philip Nilsson says, it would be rather difficult to play the game without at least mild spoilage! Lan3y - Talk 00:44, Feb 14, 2005 (UTC)
links to public servers
- notdot.net UF NetHack Server (http://nethack.notdot.net) recently created a NetHack server for the User Friendly comic, whose author alludes to NetHack (http://www.dmoz.org/Games/Video_Games/Roleplaying/Rogue-like/NetHack/Humor/User_Friendly/) in quite a few of his comics. <-- removed, because the site states, "The UF NetHack Server is currently offline. It will return as soon as I can assemble a fully functioning telnet menu system for it, instead of the kludged-together garbage it was running on. Watch this space!"
- antisymmetric.com NetHack Server (http://antisymmetric.com/nethack/) <---- removed. antisymmetric.com is currently down, and to the best of my knowledge has not had a public nethack server in over a year.

Nethack-originated monsters?
I've yet to get past the sixth or seventh floor in this game so I must ask, are there any monsters in Nethack which are SPECIFIC to Nethack, ie invented by and original to the Nethack development team? Not counting monsters of a humorous or satire-influenced nature -- I mean serious monsters. --I am not good at running 18:12, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
Quantum mechanic, for example, might be considered humorous and/or satirical though (just to find a monster whose name begins with q is a challenge, cf. Angband's quylthulg). Silvermane 18:19, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
