And now the souls of the dead who had gone below came swarming
up from Erebus -- fresh brides, unmarried youths, old men
with life's long suffering behind them, tender young girls
still nursing this first anguish in their hearts, and a great
throng of warriors killed in battle, their spear-wounds gaping
yet and all their armour stained with blood. From this
multitude of souls, as they fluttered to and fro by the
trench, there came a moaning that was horrible to hear.
Panic drained the blood from my cheeks.

Nethack is a so-called roguelike game which has the simplicity of
a deux chevaux, yet a depth unseen in many other games. Indeed,
it includes everything up to and including the kitchen sink.
On this page I try to include every source of information on NetHack
I've found useful. This does not include pages
in a language I don't understand (there is, for example, a large
Japanese speaking NetHack community on the internet,) nor does it
include pages that don't contain original material, but only have
links to other resources (so my own page is not listed.) I tried to
include every page that has anything of its own.
If you don't know roguelike games yet, I advise you to browse the
Reviews
to get an impression of roguelike
games in general and NetHack in particular. Most other links on this
page presume at least player's knowledge of the game.
This page does include links to information on direct predecessors and
descendants of NetHack. That means you can also find information
on Hack, SLASH and SLASH'EM. I do not list links to pages about
Rogue, Angband or other roguelike games. For me, the NetHack
family tree begins with Hack. If you want a more
complete overview of roguelike games, I suggest you take a look at
BALROG.

The official site for NetHack, although there are many other places where you can get a version of the game. This one is where the DevTeam itself makes NetHack available to the public. Here you can find old versions, the most recent version, and all known bugs in recent versions of NetHack. Should you discover anything odd, consult these before sending mail to the DevTeam.
The DevTeam can be reached at devteam@nethack.org.

Furthermore, you can find Thomas's thoughts on weapon skills, a detailed weapon recommendation for each character class and a damage calculator that lets you find out how much damage your character can do with each weapon.

But his site has lots of NetHack information, too: including a very comprehensive monster manual that describes every monster in NetHack in detail; a copy of 'NetHack - The Next Generation', a variant of NetHack 3.1.3 with a geek character added; and a cross-referenced version of the source code. Furthermore, there are links to lots of information sites and to almost all patches in existence here; and Ali saved copies of the famous Wizard Patch and Josh Fishman's version thereof. Another patch that could have been lost to mankind is the Dwarf Patch, also available here.

Patches to create your own version of Nethack are in the patches category, since they are only useful for people who can compile NetHack themselves. |

Warren Cheung has combined SLASH 4.1.2-8 beta by Enrico Horn with Larry Stewart-Zerba's Wizard Patch, and called the result "Super Lotsa Added Stuff Hack with Extended Magic", or SLASH'EM. Since the first release a lot has been added to this variant, including the Dwarf Patch (archived on Ali's site). SLASH'EM is being actively maintained, incorporating changes from NetHack and other innovations.

When I complained loudly on rec.games.roguelike.nethack about a game lost by quaffing from a fountain with Caps Lock on, David Damerell wrote The Paranoia Patch. If you apply this patch to a vanilla 3.2.2 source tree, it alters the game such that you can specify "paranoid_quit" in your options. Quitting and entering Explore mode then asks you to type "yes", not just the letter "y". The Paranoia Patch is also ported to NetHack 3.3.0, although quitting now is done with other keys. Additionally, the sources for SLASH'EM (a ZIPfile for the DOS source and a .tar.gz of the source tweaked for Linux compiles) are mirrored here.

D. Stage wrote the Boulder Patch and made it available on rec.games.roguelike.nethack. It makes wands of digging destroy boulders, since some people believe it is a bug that this doesn't happen in the standard game. Other people disagree, of course... Decide for yourself; a copy of the Boulder Patch is available on my site.

A big list of patches, most of them adding Other Funny Messages to NetHack 3.3.1. Also includes the Stick patch and the Preadjust patch to manage your inventory letters, and the Bagmerge patch that merges similar objects in containers.

A website where you can play NetHack online. A Java applet is included to make a telnet connection to this site, although you can also use your own favourite telnet program. This site organized NetHack tournaments, but the last one is almost a year old.

Clippy is an Internet page that helps you in identifying items that you find in a shop. You fill in some information on an item and it will present you a list of what it can be. A technique otherwise known as "price-IDing", but put in a nice web interface.

Robert Lund has posted several versions of the NetHack Logparser on rec.games.roguelike.nethack; it is a Perl script that can show you top scores, average scores and top killers from a NetHack 3.2.2 logfile or record file. A copy of version 1.02 is available on my site.

Hackers is a Perl program that allows you to store a database of NetHack configuration files so you can play NetHack in different disguises. It tries to add some atmosphere into the bargain. The program is clearly written for Unix/Linux, so expect some work if you use another platform.

ReviewsAlthough most sites try to describe NetHack in one way or another, a couple of more formal reviews have been written about the game. If you want a description of the game in plain English, without being spoiled, or just want to know what other, not necessarily addicted, people think about NetHack, you should try these links. |
