This has a download of the original game and notes on getting Hack103 working with ansi.sys. Here is the quick and easy solution for Windows XP.

Hack103 and Ansi.sys

Hack (1985) was arguably one of the greatest PC games of all time. Currently, it has evolved into NetHack (see wikipedia), but the original version from the dawn of the PC era is here for fun.

For the old Hack103 game, one needs the ansi.sys to be loaded to get the movement commands working correctly.

To get the ansi.sys loaded into the command prompt, do the following

In c:\windows\system32\CONFIG.NT

add the line

device=c:\windows\system32\ansi.sys
