| UnAngband | ||
| How does it differ? | Initially called UnAngband temporarily by Robert Reuhlmann, the variant had an identity crisis in that it's author couldn't come up with a name. UnAngband stuck. It doesn't have such problems when it comes down to new features though! Future plans for the variant can be found in the documentation within the source archive. | |
