Moria	author	?	role-play Fantasy	While moria is in Ubuntu repositories, this version often fails to run on older Ubuntu based distributions. Compiling from the sources in the Ubuntu repositories seems to have the same result. But the moria package from the Debian repos runs and compiles fine. moria from Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty repos works.***Deep Within the Mines of Moria the Balrog awaits. You are tasked with defeating it. Moria is obviously based on Tolkien's works. Moria has other Tolkien creatures and characters and some Dungeon's & Dragons inspired content also (D&D itself was heavily inspired by Tolkien's works). The player may choose a Human, Half-Elf, Elf, Halfling, Gnome, Dwarf, Half-Orc, or Half-Troll character and a Warrior, Mage, Priest, Rogue, Ranger, or Paladin class (note some races cannot choose some classes). Delve deeper for the best treasures, but going deeper is riskier; one slip and the protagonist dies, permanently, no resurrections, savegame deleted. No going back to an earlier save either, doing so marks your file and all records of your character will vanish on game over or winning. Moria is based on the design of Rogue (it is a clone that shares no code or data with Rogue) but has notable variations in gameplay. Most significant is the 6 shops on the surface that the protagonist may visit to buy [i]and sell[/i] equipment, supplies, armor, weapons, scrolls, books, potions, and magical items. The surface is only one screen in size, not really an 'overworld' like in Angband and other roguelikes based on this game. UNIX Moria also served as inspiration for the design of Diablo. Moria was created using VMS Pascal ("Moria") when Robert Alan Koeneke and Jimmey Wayne Todd found that Rogue, their addiction at the time, was not available on VAX-11/780 minicomputers. UNIX Moria (umoria) is a port of "Moria" written in C language. Many subsequent ports and forks of "Moria" were based on umoria. The original license permitting sharing and modification but not commercial use. At some point, an agreement was reached by every person who ever maintained Moria to release its source code under the GPL license. Linux umoria has since become the standard version of sorts and is even called "Moria" by the current maintainer. Although, it is still a actively maintained VAX/VMS game.
NetHack	Manifesto Games;DevTeam (DevTeam)	?	role-play Fantasy	NetHack is a wonderfully silly, yet quite addictive, Dungeons & Dragons-style adventure game. You play a character from one of many classes (such as wizard, ranger, or tourist), fighting your way down to retrieve the Amulet of Yendor (try saying THAT one backwards!) for your god. On the way, you might encounter a quantum mechanic or two, or perhaps King Arthur, or - if you're REALLY lucky - the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal. You should install a front-end for NetHack if you wish to play the game. Each of them includes the original non-graphical version, and they can all be installed at the same time: - nethack-console: no graphics, just plain NetHack; - nethack-x11 : original X11/Athena-based graphical version; - nethack-qt : Qt-based graphical version; - nethack-lisp : Lisp window version.***Version 3.0.0 was a major jump from version [game=#162666]2.3[/game] in size, scope, features and development style. This was the first release of the current version (as of 2007) [Zerothis]

Angband	author	1992	role-play Fantasy	Angband is a single-player, text-based, dungeon simulation derived from the game Moria, which was in turn based on Rogue. It is often described as a "roguelike" game because the look and feel of the game is still quite similar to Rogue (though there are now graphical tiles available if you dislike ASCII gaming). Angband has been in more or less continuous development since the early 1990s. The ultimate goal of the game is to develop a character strong enough to defeat Morgoth, who resides on dungeon level 100. Upon doing so, you will receive the exalted status of "winner" and your character may retire. To achieve this you will need to explore numerous dungeon levels, defeat many foes and sift through a great deal of treasure. Angband is a reference to Morgoth's "prison of iron" in the world of Middle-Earth, created by J.R.R. Tolkein.***JnuxBand turns Angband into a 'PC booter' game. Simple write to a floopy, USB, or disk img file and play it on any computer or emulator that can boot it.

Neverwinter Nights	Atari;Infogrames (BioWare)	2003	role-play Fantasy	Linux versions of this program are supported by Bioware. You can obtain them from the Neverwinter Night's for Linux Client Page and the Neverwinter Night's for Linux Server Page. You can obtain help for this version of the program from Bioware's Linux Forums. [Atari]***While the most of the Linux version can be downloaded for free, you'll need to buy the windows version to legally get a CD Key that allows the Linux version to run. Also, certain files of the windows version are also required for the Linux version and only available from a full install of the windows version that has been successfully run at least once. Bioware had stared during development that players could import Baldur's Gate characters. This feature was subsequently removed before completion. Atari says in their NWN FAQ (About the Windows version), that this was due to BG being 2nd edition D&D rules and and NWN being 3rd edition. Hasbro, Infogrames, and Atari do not officially support the Linux port. According to Atari, Bioware does. Confirmed to work perfectly with WINE versions 0.9.55 and 0.9.61. Formally, the end user had to install and successfully run the Windows version then port it to their Linux box. The good news here is that Linux users no longer had to own a windows system to get a native Linux version. They could instead, install the Windows version, install the NWN Linux resources, port the proper files from the windows version to Linux version, uninstall the Windows version. Native Linux version get achieved without having to buy Windows. Although the Linux client and dedicated servers were developed an tested concurrently with, and from the same source code as, the windows client and server, The Linux client ultimately is a true port and not a source port or a conversion. This is because the end user literally has to port the final bit of code manually from a windows machine to a Linux machine to make the Linux version complete. The servers however, are all of the same source. [Zerothis]

DRL	author	2005	role-play Fantasy Science Fiction	"Doom" is not a word in the Webster's dictionary anymore. It is in fact owned by Zenimax who sued Webster's and the people behind DoomRL for using the word. Which is why it is "DRL" now. Zenimax took this action seemingly because one of the developers of DoomRL created an unrelated roguelike called "Jupiter Hell" and solicited investors on Kickstarter. And Webster's because they sell dictionaries.***Latest version: 0.9.9.1 (as of 2010-03-24)
