In other interpretations, one of the only ramifications of the
Y2K problem on the
NetHack development team.
The game was no longer reporting the phases of the moon properly (that is, in accordance with what was really going on outside at that time) and all of the subtle and enigmatic effects they had on the game were being, well, still apparent, but at the inappropriate moments that would have been correct for the year 1900.
This bug has since been fixed. It is that attention to detail which makes NetHack truly a game of champions.
Come, let us lay siege to the dungeon of the foul Wizard of Yendor!
