I recall that when I saw the sources of hack version 1.0.1 (about six
months ago), I noticed that there were many `#ifdef QUEST's, and it
seemed that you could compile hack with `-DQUEST' and get a different
game.  I tried that and got compilation(!) errors.  Tried to make some
cludges in order to allow compilation, but it failed to execute.  Does
anybody know anything about the game `quest'?

when net.games.hack was first created, this was one of the earliest
questions.  quest requires additional files that were never distributed
with any version of hack.  the only difference between quest and hack
is that quest has irregularly shaped rooms.

Many people make the mistake of thinking that they can create Quest
by defining QUEST in the Hack sources. This is not the case;
defining QUEST basically cuts away a bit of the sources, and there
are other modules, specific to Quest, that should replace these.
I have not yet distributed these Quest-specific modules.
