Microsoft Windows

Microsoft Windows (often simply called Windows) is an operating system developed by Microsoft. It has been the most-used operating system on desktop PCs for decades.

Early versions of Windows were based on MS-DOS, and ran the MS-DOS builds of NetHack. There have been separate builds of NetHack for Windows proper since at least NetHack 3.1.1, with support for tiles beginning in NetHack 3.2.0: since that version, Windows builds have offered two binaries—NetHack.exe for the standard TTY mode application, and NetHackW.exe for the tiled version. Since NetHack 3.6.3, the Windows version of NetHack has also offered the curses interface.

The most current official binary for NetHack is available here on the DevTeam's website, with binaries for previous applicable versions available through the site index—from NetHack 3.6.3 onwards, the DevTeam has been maintaining an official "NetHack 3.6" app on the Windows Store as well.
