My first win was a MDBe - awesome creatures, those mountain dwarf berserkers, in fact, I'm playing one (my first ever since 0.5.2) to check out the armour buffs!
Funnily enough it was not one of the four times I found a crystal plate or gold dragon armour on the first seven floors. I guess those inflicted a fatal brain implosion in me, and caused me to play even more moronically. The progress was pretty simple - bump into stuff until they die. I'm really proud of it, though, because it was a five-rune win, not a petty three-rune one
I lucked out and found the Abyss rune in my one and only journey there and then decided that hell, I might as well go splat the Royal Jelly while I was at it. I didn't even have to berserk in Zot 5, I would just find a herd of orbs and smacked them around.
Ah, the memories. I still have the dump, too. Here, I'll post it for nostalgia's sake
