On the way you will find useful (or useless) items, (quite -possibly with magic properties) and assorted monsters. You attack a monster -by trying to move into the space a monster is in (but often it is much -wiser to leave it alone). - - Unlike most adventure games, which give you a verbal description of -your location, hack gives you a visual image of the dungeon level you are on. - - Hack uses the following symbols: - A to Z and a to z: monsters.
