Revision as of 17:15, 18 March 2010
NetHack brass is a variant based on NetHack 3.4.3. It has an improved skills system, the choice of a gift at Sokoban, and a new Gehennom, including rivers and an icy cave.
There is a DOS/Windows binary for ready play. For Unix users, the best option is to obtain the 040923 sources, apply the brass interface patch, and go compiling.
There is a new version, NetHack brass 081221. So far, all of the information about the new version is in Japanese.
