I never thought I'd live to see this day:

A new major version of #nethack has been released!

NetHack 5.0.0: Main Page

(nethack.org)

I played the original #hack back in 1991 and 1992. I wish I could get it to work on #linux.

@beetle_b I played that all the time. So much fun!

@RichardNairn

Yeah, what I liked about #hack in the #dos days was how easy it was to save-scumm (reuse your save file).

Also, the fortunes file was in plain text, so you could read them and learn.

And encountering your own ghost. A very young me was blown away by that.

@beetle_b I’d always tun it on Linux. That and some of the variants such as Rogue.
