Slash'EM Extended

Slash'EM Extended (also known as "Sadistic Levels of Endless X-Citement", or SLEX for short) is a variant of SLASH'EM based on SLASH'EM version 0.0.7E7F2. The object of the game is the same: to fetch the Amulet of Yendor from the bottom of Gehennom and offer it to your god.

Compared to SLASH'EM, the aim of Slash'EM Extended is to be a "kitchen sink" style variant that heavily raises the difficulty of the dungeon and adds several new roles and races for the player to choose from, alongside several new special levels and a near-endless amount of monsters; the developer is also known to deliberately implement Evil Patch Ideas and Evil Variant Sokoban levels. However, due to much of the new content being highly inappropriate, or in some cases illegal depending on location, most of the information regarding it has been removed – this page exists for historical purposes.

SlashTHEM was originally a successor variant of Slash'EM Extended v75 which eventually diverged significantly and chose to no longer fork from Slash'EM Extended in favor of becoming a SLASH'EM-based fork, while retaining and building on many of the elements originating from other variants that were added to Slash'EM Extended, including NetHack: The Next Generation and older ones such as SLASH 6 and NetHack-- 3.0.10. Remnants of specific Slash'EM Extended influences include the Acid Mage and Electric Mage roles, as well as four techniques: world fall, create ammo, appraisal, and booze - the SlashTHEM article has a full list of additions to the game and their sources, while a full list of features deferred in SlashTHEM can be viewed on this article.
