Without any changes apart from removing the check, ST Nethack runs fine in monochrome mode.
I don't really know why the GEM port didn't enable it and told all ST High users to use the TOS (tty) version instead.
As I said, 3.7 won't ever run on an Atari ST (unless there are some wild memory expansions that get around the MMU's 4 MB limit), but 3.6.7 should be possible on stock STs with 4MB.

@ipaschke There are plenty of “non-wild” memory expansions for the Atari ST to get beyond the 4 MB barrier: Storm ST, MonSTer, Magnum ST, PAK+FRAK, TwiSTEr. You can still buy Storm ST, MonSTer and TwiSTEr. Each of them offer at least 8 MB of contiguous memory, on top of the ST’s original amount. Some also include an accelerator. #twister #atarist https://wiki.newtosworld.de/ (bottom section)
