Nethack version with Jedi as character

Archived from groups: rec.games.roguelike.nethack (More info?)

Hi folks,
I remember playing a DOS version of nethack in the early 90s which had a
jedi knight as a character (and some special items like "light sword"
and "battery" ). Does anybody know this version? Seems VERY hard do find
on the web.

True, but thanks a lot for the hint! I really should have a look at
Slash'Em at some point. Though it's not really old-school enough

This was a patch to Nethack 2.3e. I'm not aware of any binary
distributions, but Ali Harlow has source at

http://www.juiblex.co.uk/nethack/s [...] .3e.tar.gz

After you unpack the tarball, look in the newstuff directory. You'll find
bug fixes and a number of enhancements, including the Jedi patch.
