Angband
is a dungeon-crawling roguelike computer game derived from Umoria (a C
port of a game called Moria). It is based on the writings of J. R. R.
Tolkien, in which Angband was the fortress of Morgoth. The current
version of Angband is 3.0.6, and is available for all major operating
systems (including Unix, Windows, the Macintosh, and DOS). The game
revolves around the exploring of a 100-level dungeon, in which the
player seeks to amass enough power and equipment to ultimately defeat
Morgoth. A new level is randomly generated each time the player changes
levels, which gives Angband great replay value: no two games will be
the same. Angband is notable for spawning many derivatives. A family
tree of around sixty (around a dozen of which are active) variants of
Angband exist, each often greatly differing in purpose and depth of
changes. The best known variants are OAngband, ToME (formerly
PernAngband) and ZAngband. The Usenet group rec.games.roguelike.angband
is the locus of the Angband community.
