I’ve known about this for ages, have played a time or two but never really got into it. A couple of questions:
1) Which versions work on DOS? I’m sorting through this page:
https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/MS-DOS
and it appears 3.0+ is a no-go due to memory limitations. So that leaves…2.3e? Is there anything between 2.3 and 3.0?
2) Are there binaries/executables anywhere? Or is the idea that if you can’t compile (which I can’t, to save my life) you’re not “l33t” enough to play?
