3.1 for X11. It drew the map as text rather than graphically but
included nh10.bdf, an optionally used custom X11 font which has
tiny images in place of letters and punctuation, a precursor of
tiles. Those images don't extend to individual monster and ob-
ject types, just replacements for monster and object classes (so
one custom image for all "a" insects and another for all "[" ar-
mor and so forth, not separate images for beetles and ants or for
cloaks and boots).
Warwick Allison wrote a graphically displayed version of
NetHack for the Atari where the tiny pictures were described as
"icons" and were distinct for specific types of monsters and ob-
jects rather than just their classes. He contributed them to the
NetHack Development Team which rechristened them "tiles", origi-
nal usage which has subsequently been picked up by various other
games. NetHack's tiles support was then implemented on other
platforms (initially MS-DOS but eventually Windows, Qt, and X11
too).

Tourists, Valkyries and of course, Wizards. It was also the
first version to allow you to ride a steed, and was the first
version to have a publicly available web-site listing all the
bugs that had been discovered. Despite that constantly growing
bug list, 3.3 proved stable enough to last for more than a year

was a work-in-progress and had not gone through the process of
debugging it as a suitable release, it was decided that the ver-
