It's a freeware computer dungeon exploration
game based (loosely) on the books of J.R.R.Tolkien. You
explore a very deep dungeon, kill monsters, try to equip yourself with the
best weapons and armor you can find, and finally face Morgoth
- "The Dark Enemy". Angband has a very long history.
It started in 1990 as an improved and "Tolkienized" variant of Moria. Moria
itself was created in 1985 and was inspired by Rogue (from the early 1980s).
Countless changes were introduced by many programmers on the way to the
current versions of Angband. |
The word Angband means "Iron Hell" or "Iron Prison" from the
prefix 'ang-' = Iron (like in 'Angrist' = Iron-cleaver) and from '-band' =
Hell or Prison in Sindarin (one of the languages Tolkien created).

A long time ago, on a computer system far, far, away, there
was Rogue. Players wander a dungeon, hacking and slashing at monsters,
gaining treasures, becoming more powerful, and live their D&D nightmares.
The game is a single-user, fantasy role-playing computer game, set in a
dungeon, run with a simple character-graphic interface. The player controls
a single character, who roams around getting more powerful, in order to
fulfill a difficult quest. Sword-and-sorcery rule the day. See also,
Pocket Rogue. |
 The name "Rogue" was
created by Glenn Wichman as he paired with the first
rogue-like programmer Michael Toy in 1980. |

NetHack is a single player dungeon exploration game. Unlike
many other Dungeons & Dragons-inspired games, the emphasis in NetHack is on
discovering the detail of the dungeon and not simply killing everything in
sight - in fact, killing everything in sight is a good way to die quickly.
Each game presents a different landscape - the random number generator
provides an essentially unlimited number of variations of the dungeon and
its denizens to be discovered by the player in one of a number of
characters: you can pick your race, your role, and your gender. |
 NetHack
is a direct descendant of the games Hack and Rogue. The
"Net" in NetHack refers to its development by a team of programmers
in the usenet community.

Like nanRogue, this is a port of
the classic Rogue game--the simplest and perhaps easiest of the Rogue-like
games you could play. Pocket Rogue is still in Beta and has been for some
time now, but it allows editing of the tile set. This allows you to replace
the ASCII characters with your own custom graphics.
|
 The
BSD UNIX distribution 4.2 in 1980 included a binary version of Rogue.
At that time there was no other freely available game like it and so became
the most popular game on college campuses.
