I played nethack a lot in the 90’s when I was in college. The farthest I got was the plane of air. Despite never beating it I consider it to be one of my favorite games. I’m glad to see design goals are still in the same spirit. Perhaps I should pick it up again now that my patience has leveled up.
If I read the site properly, did this person usurp the trademark for Nethack for himself? Is this an actual authorized version 4 of Nethack? I just downloaded it the other day and I think it was at 3.6.7
Taking advantage of this thread to ask: have anyone here tried Cogmind? What did you think of it? I’ve found that traditional roguelike fans always have strong opinions about the course of a games development, and there’s often an older version of the game that’s held in higher regard by the community than the current one.
I spent much of this afternoon playing xNetHack[1] on Hardfought[2]. My first exposure was 30 years ago to a DOS port laboriously downloaded from a dial-up BBS. No web, no documentation, no wiki[3]. And I've loved every minute of it...
NetHack is, in many ways, a dream game. While I enjoy text games, I think that poor graphics really break the immersion for RPGs. I would love to play a NetHack with GREAT graphics - high res final fantasy VI style, for instance.

I talk a lot about what makes NetHack unique and influential.

Wasn't there some kind of conflict between Nethack4 and Nethack3 people ages ago ?
