Angband (game)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Angband is a roguelike game, derived from Moria and enhanced successively by Alex Cutler, Andy Astrand, Charles Swiger, Ben Harrison and Robert Ruehlmann. It is based on the writings of J. R. R. Tolkien. The adventurer is presented with 100 levels of the title dungeon, in which he or she seeks to amass enough power and equipment to ultimately defeat Morgoth.

A veritable family tree of around 50 variants of Angband exist, each greatly differing in purpose and depth of changes. The most known variants are EyAngband, Hengband, OAngband, ToME, and ZAngband.

The Usenet group rec.games.roguelike.angband is a place to discuss all the aspects of the game. An IRC channel, #angband exists on the WorldIRC network (irc.worldirc.org).
