Just wondering, how many people have ever played the original Hack, or PC Hack? At least before it turned into NetHack 3.x? I thought it started to get kind of tedious at Nethack 3.x, but played HOURs of the original Hack / PC Hack. Also, I just ran across an MS-DOS compiled PC Hack / Nethack 1.4. When there are stores, ghosts, wands of wishing, etc... If anyone is interested, I'll post it somewhere, since it took me quite a while to find it yesterday.
And, did anyone ever beat it? And/or have a spoiler of how to teleport to the last level in the dungeon? Or, and spoilers at all, in case I want to reference them? Not much online before the NetHack 2.x and 3.x days. I seem to remember you needed to put on a rign of teleport control, drink a potion of confusion and read a scroll of teleport, then you could teleport to whatever dungeon level you wanted... I remember doing ti once, relatively early with a Wizard, saw some cool things in the last level (30 I think), and then instadeath.

Never made it to the balrog in Moria, but may be my new summer goal. I can't get past Dlvl 6 or so in Hack. After playing Angband so long, I realize that maybe Angband is far too easy and not "random enough". When you can to 700 pts a turn damage with a weapon, doesn't feel as cool as using a +1 long sword, old D&D style.
