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, in which the objective is to face the 100 levels of the title dungeon and amass enough power and equipment to ultimately defeat
Morgoth.
A veritable family tree of over 30 variants of Angband exist, each greatly differing in purpose and depth of changes. The Usenet group rec.games.roguelike.angband, is a place to discuss all the aspects of the game.
