NetHack Versions

NetHack 1.3d is the first public release of NetHack. Mike Stephenson published it to the Usenet newsgroup comp.sources.games and the moderator approved it in July 1987[1].

Availability

Google Groups has archived NetHack 1.3d. The original source is also (more) easily obtained from UUNet here. The partXX.Z files in that directory are NetHack 1.3d; patch1.Z is the patch for NetHack 1.4f.

Ali Harlow (who runs Juiblex.co.uk) has a NetHack 1.3d distribution available on his stie. NetHackWiki has files from this distribution available for browsing and annotation.

The original sources no longer compile on modern systems; Sascha Wilde modified the source to compile and run on modern Linux systems, and this version is available at their website. Patric Mueller used this as a base for the Junethack tournament, backporting crash bug fixes from later NetHack versions and adding public server capabilities - this version is available for play on Hardfought, and the code can be viewed here on github.

Significant changes

The adventurer

The player may choose from these roles:

All classes permit male and female adventurers, except the Valkyrie which must be female.

The adventurer has experience, hit points, magical energy, armor class, and strength. They may advance to experience level 14.

The initial pet is a little dog.

Dungeon features

The dungeon in NetHack 1.3d has no branches; there is one way up and one way down. The first 25 levels or so consist of rooms, and beyond that, the adventurer encounters mazes. The deepest dungeon level is 40.

Dungeon level 30 and deeper are designated as "Hell". Entering hell without fire resistance, or losing it once there, is an instadeath. One can lose fire resistance by taking off the ring or by losing one's polymorph; this version does not have gremlins. These levels have only up-stairs, and the only way to enter is by level teleportation.

Special rooms are throne rooms, swamps, vaults, beehives, crypts, treasure zoos, and shops. Special features are pools, fountains, and thrones.

Traps are:

The Amulet of Yendor is found in the possession of the Wizard of Yendor in a maze level. He is in a small room in the center of the maze, surrounded by water and accompanied by a hell hound.

Other maze levels have wands of wishing tucked under a boulder in a dead-end square. (Yes, there's more than one.) Since NetHack 3.1.0, one version of Medusa's lair has a random wand in a similar spot, commemorating the former location of the wand of wishing.

Bestiary

New monsters are indicated in boldface. Some new monsters replace old ones, depending on compile-time options.

The following monsters may be encountered:

Objects

New objects are indicated in boldface.

Artifacts

NetHack 1.3d has two artifacts.

Any two handed sword may be named Orcrist and will do d10 extra points damage to orcs. There can even be more than one Orcrist.

Excalibur is new to NetHack 1.3d. The method of obtaining it is different from modern versions: One must first name a long sword Excalibur and then #dip it into a fountain. Excalibur has no special properties, but if created successfully, it becomes +5 (if not already higher) and rustproof, and any curse is removed. As with Orcrist, there can be more than one Excalibur. Although crowning exists, it does not grant Excalibur.

Amulets

Only the Amulet of Yendor and the cheap plastic imitation exist in NetHack 1.3d.

Food

Food items in NetHack 1.3d are:

The tin did not contain the remains of monsters, but rather a randomly-chosen food such as peaches or, if the adventurer is lucky, spinach.

The dead lizard is a found object rather than a corpse; live lizards do not exist in NetHack 1.3d. It otherwise has its modern properties in this version.

Weapons

Weapons in NetHack 1.3d are:

Tools

Tools in NetHack 1.3d are:

The ice box is the only container. Then as now, it preserved corpses, and was generally too heavy (and too rare) to be useful for inventory management.

Armor

Armor items in NetHack 1.3d are:

Potions

Potions in NetHack 1.3d are:

Scrolls

Scrolls in NetHack 1.3d are:

The scroll of damage weapon acts as the modern scroll of enchant weapon does when cursed. The scroll of genocide acts, in all cases, as the modern blessed scroll; but most symbols refer to only one monster anyway.

Wands

Wands in NetHack 1.3d are:

Spellbooks

The entire category of spellbooks is new in NetHack 1.3d. All exist only if SPELLS is defined at compile time.

Spellbooks in NetHack 1.3d are:

Rings

Rings in NetHack 1.3d are:

Because charisma does not exist in NetHack 1.3d, the ring of adornment is a useless item.

Gems

Gems in NetHack 1.3d are:

and worthless pieces of blue, red, yellow, and green glass.

Other items

Other items not appearing in the above categories are:

It is not possible to pick up an iron chain, nor can they be generated from iron golems, because these do not exist in NetHack 1.3d.
