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.
The Odyssey, (chapter Lambda), by Homer

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.

The site is a little biased towards the PC versions of NetHack. There is also some information on SLASH and SLASH'EM available here.

Ali is the maintainer of the Unix version of SLASH'EM, and also hosts some spoilers about it. 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.

Cristan wrote a program that generates spoiler tables directly from the NetHack sources, by replacing NetHack's main(). This allows hime to generate spoilers for different versions of NetHack, several of which he has on his site. There also is a map of the dungeon and a graph of NetHack 3.2 spell casting probabilities here.

She also wrote (and hosts) a categorised list of NetHack Spoilers, which might help a lot in finding a particular piece of information. On this site, you can also find an updated version of nhk, a Perl program that shows you how the enemy is doing: it compiles a list of high scores for monsters from your logfile.

Although it is anounced that this site will disappear for years already, it is still there. This is the place where the NetHack code was first explained, some sort of geek code for NetHack players by Raisse the Thaumaturge (Irina Rempt) and others. Although version 1.1 is still there, you might want to take a look at the NetHack Code site for newer versions.

Downloads and variantsIn this category you find versions of NetHack apart from the official binaries and the variants of NetHack that are still available today. It also contains links to hints and spoilers for these versions, as far as they exist.
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.

No doubt one of the smallest NetHacks around: NetHack for the Psion Series 5 and Revo. A front-end is added to make it easy to read the accompanying documentation, and to be able to start it from the Extras bar. NetHack is there for the 5MX, NetBook/Series 7 and the Revo and friends; it includes colour support, too.
P.S. Hearse supports Psion NetHack.

Apart from a Japanese version of NetHack 3.2.2, featuring a new character, the JNetHack page also has a version of NetHack 3.2 running under GTK+. This is a patch, so you need the NetHack 3.2.2 sources and a copy of the GTK+ library; but if you can compile it, you get pseudo-3D tiles (or at least 32x32 tiles,) and a 'radar' window!

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.

Andre wrote a couple of patches, among which the whips patch, which adds some more whips to NetHack, and the Bard's patch, which adds a bard character to the game. The bard is quite different in that he needs musical instruments to perform magic.
Furthermore you can find here a patch that enhance Monk's martial arts, and a Wizard's staff patch that adds a new weapon.
Also on this site is another NetHack Movie.

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.

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. |

This is a NetHack based card-game, where you have to retrieve the Amulet of Yendor while fighting monsters, according to the Dvorak game concept; it allows you to change the rules as you go along, too!

Kelly did it again! After the alternative Gnomish Mines and the Heck patch, he wrote Heck^2, which is another approach to make Gehennom more interesting. It consists of more than 40 hand-made special levels, a couple of which will be used each game.
You only have to install a new nhdat file to use Heck^2, but a patch to the makefiles is available as well for those who roll their own binaries.

If you run NetHack in a Linux console, and you want something more 'graphical' looking than characters, you can try the special console font for NetHack. It has simple symbols for everything instead of letters. If you don't like the one DeeT provided, you can make your own with his Font Editor, also available on this page.
