NetHack Versions |

NetHack 3.0.0 is the fifth public release of NetHack and the first by the DevTeam. Izchak Miller published it to the Usenet newsgroup comp.sources.games and the moderator approved it in July 1989.
Contents
Availability
Google Groups has archived NetHack 3.0.0; but the original source is more easily obtained from UUNet at [1]. The partXX.Z files in that directory are NetHack 3.0.0; patch* files are the patches for succeeding versions through NetHack 3.0.10.
Ali Harlow[2] has a NetHack 3.0.0 distribution at [3].
Significant changes
NetHack 3.0.0 is a vastly expanded game over NetHack 2.3e. The bestiary is expanded over threefold. Many new objects and dungeon features are added.
The Oracle and Castle levels and an early form of the Astral Plane appear for the first time. The Stooges and their attendant level are removed.
Vlad the Impaler and his Tower appear for the first time, but the Candelabrum of Invocation does not.
The room with the Wizard of Yendor is redesigned. The Fake Tower levels in the modern NetHack are shaped like the 3.0.x room.
The modern system of alignment and gods is introduced. Some roles have different alignments than in the modern game.
Full support for IBMgraphics and DECgraphics in essentially their modern forms is provided.
Support for the Amiga and Atari ST is provided for the first time in an official distribution.
The adventurer
The player may choose from these roles:
| Role | Alignment |
|---|---|
| Archeologist | Lawful |
| Barbarian | Chaotic |
| Cave-(wo)man | Lawful |
| Elf | Lawful |
| Healer | Lawful |
| Knight | Lawful |
| Priest(ess) | Neutral |
| Rogue | Chaotic |
| Samurai | Lawful |
| Tourist | Neutral |
| Valkyrie | Chaotic |
| Wizard | Neutral |
The Ninja class is removed in favor of the Rogue.
All classes permit male and female adventurers, except the Valkyrie which must be female.
The adventurer has experience, hit points, magical energy, armor class, alignment, and the six major attributes. He may advance to experience level 30.
The initial pet is a little dog for Cavemen, a kitten for Wizards, and a random choice of the two for all others.
Dungeon features
The dungeon in NetHack 3.0.0 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 the Castle and then mazes. The deepest dungeon level is 50.
Medusa appears as '@' on the down-stairs of the level before the Castle. She does not have a special level, and is thus a snare for the unwary adventurer.
Dungeon levels below the Castle are designated as "Hell". Entering hell without fire resistance, or losing it once there, is an instadeath. This may happen by taking off one's ring of fire resistance or losing one's polymorph and not being naturally fire resistant, or by being hit by a gremlin. These levels have only up-stairs, and the only way to proceed beyond the first level after the Castle is by level teleportation.
Special rooms are:
Special features are:
Traps are:
- monsters disguised as statues
- bear trap
- arrow trap
- dart trap
- trapdoor
- teleportation trap
- pit
- sleeping gas trap
- magic trap
- squeaky board
- web
- spiked pit
- level teleporter
- anti-magic field
- rust trap
- polymorph trap
- land mine
The Amulet of Yendor is found in the posession 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 and a vampire lord.
Fake Wizard rooms contain a random demon prince instead of the Wizard and a fake Amulet. If all demon princes have appeared, a demon lord appears instead; if all demon lords have appeared, the room contains a random ordinary demon. All eight modern named demons exist, but their modern lairs do not.
A wand of wishing is guaranteed in the Castle, in its modern position; but it lies exposed on the floor instead of being protected by a chest and Elbereth. 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.
When ascending from level 1 with the Amulet of Yendor, one is transported immediately to the Astral Plane; the Elemental Planes do not yet exist. The Astral Plane is different from the modern game, having mazes and powerful monsters instead of the denizens of the modern version.
