As I recall from my game of many, many years ago, I got the amulet to the surface and was greeted with, “Oops, that’s the fake amulet. Go back down.” I’m pretty sure that’s the last time I played it.

There's only one documented instance of someone winning without spoilers. It's a 40-year-old game.

Nethack has been around since 1987, it's a little late for spoilers.

People still play this game. Spoilers still spoil experiences for others.

		Meh, imo spoilers only spoil experiences for people who take media too seriously. When I consider watching a movie, one of the first things I do is read a complete plot summary, including the ending. When I do this and no longer want to watch the movie, in my mind, that’s not a sign that any experience was spoiled, but rather that it just wasn’t very interesting to begin with. Conversely, I have played Nethack on and off for decades, have read countless spoilers about it, yet still haven’t won and still find it interesting.

We’re in a thread about Nethack 5.0 release, I think it’s safe to say not everyone in this thread has finished the game.

		Not me! Maybe some day, but losing can be fun too.

		OP is talking about a several decade old version of nethack, not nethack 5.0.0.
