Dungeon Hack

DOS - 1993

In a departure from EH's normal adventure/RPG norm, Dungeon Hack is a straightforward hack-n-slash dungeon crawl that is best described as a modern version of ASCII classic Rogue.

Randomly-generated dungeons, with different placement of monsters and items, makes this a highly replayable dungeon romp that doesn't set the new standard, but is great fun for those who want a quick RPG fix. Thumbs up!

@instru
My answer comes a little late^^

I want to survive? Take a Cleric!
You can heal yourself, you receive protection spells like protection vs Evil and Neg. Plane Protection. This make you immun vs level-drain. AND you become the ultimate weapon: The Spiritual Hammer! An magical weapon that you can throw and its come automatic back to you. It cannot be eaten from this Living Muck and you can create two of this beautys. Double pain for your foes and fun for you.

Hack fix made it so I can't save games. I tried saving and it said a bunch of errors.

Better get the codes on abandonia.

Soon you'll have to buy it from GOG anyway

To get this working properly:
1 - Among the files you will fine a Hack.zip, unzip it and override all files. THIS WILL FIX THE SAVE GAME AND SCOREBOARD (Thx RAHANZIE!!)
2 - Among the files you will fine a HackFix.zip unzip it and override all files.
3 - Run Dosbox
4 - Run hackfix.exe fron dosbox.
4 - Run SOUND.exe
5 - Run HACK.bat
6 - Enjoy :D

WHEN YOU UNZIP IT THERE WILL BE ANOTHER ZIPPED COPY INSIDE UNZIP IT TO ALL INSIDE THE GAME FOLDER. INSIDE THE ZIPPED FILE INSIDE THE UNZIPPED FILE THE STILL ZIPPED ONE HOLDS THE MISSING FILES FOR SCOREBOARD AND SAVE FOLDER. HOPE MY EXPLANATION MAKES SINCE. THIS IS HOW I FIXED IT.

Unlike the game itself which is turn based, the melee is NOT. It's too easy to get killed simply because you can't draw your weapon fast enough or cast a spell

Another one of those great games from my childhood.

Try Dosbox, worked like a charm for me.

I've completed this game many times with all sort of characters and the endboss isnt that hard.

Try hit 'n' run tactics.

I don't know why, but I've downloaded and tried running dungeon hack from you guys like 3 or 4 times, and I can't get it to run on d-fend reloaded! Got any suggestions? (Every other game I've downloaded from here runs perfectly except this one!)

The ONLY way I could get a character to survive to the end, was by some serious editing.
