Behold, mortal, the origins of Hack Lite...
The original HACK was written by Jay Fenlason with help from Kenny
Woodland, Mike Thome and Jon Payne.
Andries Brouwer did a major re-write and published (at least) two
versions (1.0.2 and 1.0.3) to the Usenet.
PC HACK 3.61 was an MSDOS(tm) version of HACK 1.0.3. The PC
implementation was done in Microsoft(tm) C by Don Kneller and
modified by Ken Arromdee.
Amiga HACK 1.0.3D was an Amiga version of UNIX HACK 1.0.3. The
Amiga port was performed by John A. Toebes, VIII, with the
assistance of other members of the Software Distillery.
Hack Lite v1.0.0 was a merged version of PC HACK and Amiga Hack,
created by Alan Beale and John Toebes, incorporating many
performance and playability improvements.
Meanwhile, in another part of the dungeon, Mike Stephenson and Ken
Arromdee created NetHack from PC HACK and UNIX HACK, incorporating
many modifications and features made by the above, as well as the
following honored hackers:
Scott R. Turner Tom Almy John S. Bien
Gil Neiger Ralf Brown Eric S. Raymond
Eric Backus Roland McGrath Greg Laskin
Bruce Holloway Richard P. Hughey Kevin Sweet
Steve Creps Olaf Seibert
Hack Lite v2.0.0 (and beyond) for the Amiga and the IBM PC was
developed by Alan Beale from Hack Lite v1.0.0 and NetHack 2.2, and
will surely remain the last word in hackery until v3.0.0.
Version 1 of the HackInstall program was developed by John Toebes.
HackInstall, version 2, and HackConfig were written by Jim Cooper.
The HackInstall archive extraction code was based on code by
Yooichi Tagawa. The HackIcon utility was written by Doug Walker.
Thanks to Tim Friest and Don Withey for InstallBeep, and to Jeff
Lee for the icons and the death scene. Also thanks to all the
Hack Lite beta testers, and especially to Tim Jordan, who improved
the monster icons, and suggested many other useful enhancements.
