- After years of playing this stupid game including the original hack, and
- never had won, I have finally ascended! WHOOPEE!!!!!!!
-
- This was a pretty good game, as I also won by playing a healer, which I
- don't think is that easy to do in the grand scheme of things. The talley
- of stuff I had was as follows (as best I can remember from memory)
-
- a blessed +4 long sword named Excalibar (enchanted in the usual way from
- normal sword, and then blessed a few times)
-
- a blessed +3 gray dragon scale mail (wished for early on in the game from a
- water deamon that was nice to me. I actually accidentally rustproofed this
- later on)
-
- a rustproof +6 visored helmet (nice armor *found* at +5)
-
- rust proof +0 iron shoes (-1 by games end)
-
- +0 blue green shield (unimpressive but handy)
-
- +0 pair of leather gloves (I had a +4 pair that I found, but one scroll of
- enchant armor too many, and they were gone)
-
- blessed +0 elven cloak (nothing special, I did find an cursed -1 protection
- cloak late in the game that I uncursed)
-
- Also included was a ring of conflict (found early and worn almost always),
- regeneration (used for the mad sprint up), +3 protection (worn until I
- found the Amulet), levitation (wished for), and some other non-important to
- the game rings.
-
- No poly-piling was done here, and I didn't have a polymorph wand anyway.
- No wizard abuse was done in winning, and I actually finished with one wish
- left on a wand of wishing.
-
- The Wizard was a major PAIN-IN-THE-ROYAL-********-BUTT!!!!!! More so than
- anyone has ever told me. But it was fun to finally win one. Now I can
- start a new character with a new class. I wish that Nethack++ was
- available but no such luck. And for some reason, NH++ won't play on
- SoftPC's emulator on the Mac. I guess it just doesn't like EGA
- graphics.
