Slash'EM Extended (which is short for Super Lotsa Added Stuff Hack - Extended Magic) is a variant of NetHack with, as its name implies, many new features. It is the spiritual successor of SLASH'EM (by Warren Cheung), based on version 0.0.7E7F2, with various additional changes since.
Description
Slash'EM Extended can be described as SLASH'EM with some added features, such as:
- New classes

- Many new variants of special levels (like the Sokoban levels), as well as added ones (like the Heck and Lethe levels)
- Lots of new monsters, items and traps
- Game balance fixes to reduce tedium and farming while increasing difficulty especially in the late game
- Interface patches (e.g. color-coded hit point display) to provide an enjoyable playing experience
