Yet Another NetHack Site (original) (raw)
December 2015: it is extremely unlikely that I will be able to update any of these spoilers, but I'm happy to host other people's updates, as always; contact me at knepveu@steelypips.org.
NetHack is a single-player computer game; it doesn't look fancy, but it's extremely addictive all the same. For more information, see the links about NetHack.
Spoilers
If you're here, you're probably looking for the spoilers. This site hosts copies of the following spoilers:
- Spoilers created by rec.games.roguelike.nethack posters.
- The Hugo/O'Donnell spoilers for 3.4.3 (updated August 31, 2005), separated into some rough categories:

- Spoilers for 3.4.0 are on a separate page.
- Spoilers for 3.4.1 are on a separate page.
If you don't find what you're looking for here, there are lots of other spoiler resources.

The Hugo/O'Donnell Spoilers
The following spoilers were created by Kevin Hugo (now part of the DevTeam) or by Dylan O'Donnell, and are currently maintained by Dylan and archived under his conditions. In addition, you can download a zipped archive of these spoilers (4** KB).
The updates of the HTML versions of the spoilers from 3.4.1 to 3.4.3 was done by Dan Fabulich (who rocks) on August 29, 2005.
These spoilers are listed in rough categories (items and monsters; your character; intrinsics; and the dungeon), mostly by alphabetical order. If I thought something fell into two categories, I listed it twice, so you wouldn't have to guess. Some of these files are rather large; the really big (well over 50KB+) files have their sizes listed.

I used AcsToTab to convert some of these spoilers to HTML.
I see no point in putting up a public web site if it's unreadable to some. To that end, this site uses XHTML 1.0 for markup and CSS for layout; thus, while it will look nicer in a browser that complies with web standards (here's a list of browsers you might upgrade to), it will display its content in any browser. It also complies with Viewable with Any Browser Campaign and the W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative (see also its handy checklist); in particular, all spoiler tables have text versions available.
