| Moria |
| What's it all about? |
You start off in a town above the Dungeons of Moria, famed for the number of
lives it has claimed over the years. Your mission is to travel to the 50th
dungeon level and defeat the Balrog.

This is probably the closest you can get to Angband without actually being Angband!
This is the game that I started off with. I can remember downloading Angband 2.6.1
from Aminet, seeing it's puny colourless ASCII graphics, and deleting it straight
away - the Amiga version of Moria had it's own graphics set back then, y'see! In
Moria, you can choose between 6 classes and 8 races, one of which is the much
missed Monk, who can cast both Mage and Priest spells. The dungeon only goes down
50 levels, where you have to defeat the Balrog, as opposed to Angband's Morgoth.
There are distinctly less objects and monsters compared to Angband, and there aren't
any uniques or artifacts. All monster and object information is hardcoded into the
executable, so the only way to introduce your own alterations was to edit the
source and recompile.

I played this game for a GOOD few years! Of course, as
soon as Angband 2.7.9 hit Aminet along with it's nice little graphics, I never
looked back...
