	Angband Variants Page
		Angband is a single player role playing game.
		Angband is loosely based on the works of JRR Tolkien, and had the game Rogue as an ancestor, hence the term 'roguelike' that is encountered in this page and many others relating to the game.
		Angband is constantly under development, and has been since it came out in its most basic form back in 1985.

	Angband - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
		Angband is a program for many platforms including Windows, Linux and the other ones that no one has ever heard of.
		Forged in the dark computer pits of Mount Doom, Angband was created by a team of aliens who had picked up a transmission of Peter Jackson's live-action version of The Lord of the Rings and were so incensed by it that they decided that the race who created it must die.
		The game challenges you to descend into the pits of Angband (actually the seperate floors of the U.N. building) and destroy various evil creatures (actually the entirety of the human race who are in the U.N. building for some reason).

	Encyclopedia of Arda: Angband
		Angband was a mighty fortified citadel originally constructed by Melkor in the earliest days of the world as an outlying fortress to his northern stronghold of Utumno.
		Angband was beseiged by the Noldor during the early part of the First Age, but the Siege of Angband was broken at the Dagor Bragollach.
		Angband re-entered history when Melkor escaped Valinor with the stolen Silmarils: he chose the ruined fortress as his new capital, and rebuilt the Hells of Iron as a base for the dark reign he intended for the lands of Middle-earth.

	Angband (game)
		Angband is open source but not strictly free software because it is licensed under "non commercial use" terms, as was its ancestor Moria.
		Angband gameplay is most often compared to Nethack, though in reality the games are almost polar opposites.
		Angband adopts a more serious tone than Nethack, and the focus of the game is more on combat tactics, inventory management and risk minimalisation than Nethackish puzzle solving and special casing.

	Council of Elrond :: Lord of the Rings News and Information
		Angband was destroyed after the Battle of the Powers, but its pits were not scoured, and Sauron, the Balrogs and other of Melkor's servants hid there during their master's captivity.
		Angband served as Melkor's headquarters during the War of the Great Jewels, and it was there he bred his monsters.
		Angband was at last fully destroyed afterwards in the breaking of Beleriand after the War of Wrath.

	MacGamer - Get In The Game
		Angband's minimalistic interface works (for me anyway) in the same way that the old Infocom text adventures did: they both force you to use your imagination, which can produce effects more vivid and terrifying than any bleeding-edge 3D card you'll ever be able to buy.
		Angband's distinction from the other roguelike games is its focus on the work of J.R.R. Tolkien; Angband was the name of the fortress created by Morgoth and later used as his seat of power when he ruled Middle-Earth.
		Angband is a game of tremendous scope, and this article is leaving a lot out by necessity (detail for you to revel in discovering if you are foolish enough to actually download and play this game).

	rec.games.roguelike.angband FAQ part 1
		Angband is a reference to Morgoth's "prison of iron." 1b.
		Angband will automatically load several "user pref files" when a character is loaded, for example, if I am playing a high-elf mage named "Fearless" on some kind of Macintosh computer, in graphics mode, then the user pref files "pref.prf", "graf.prf", "user.prf", and "Fearless.prf" will be autoloaded, which will themselves load "pref-mac.prf", "graf-mac.prf", "graf-xxx.prf", and "user-mac.prf".
		However, not releasing the sources is frowned upon by the Angband community, and it is likely that a large portion would not run it, either on principle or because they need the sources to compile for their particular system.

	The Pits of Angband
		Angband is an extended version of Moria, with much more influence from the writings of J.R.R.Tolkien than its predecessor.
		Angband is a reference to Morgoth's "prison of iron" (see Tolkien's "Silmarillion").

	Inside Mac Games Feature: Classic Mac Gaming: Angband - Past, Present & Future
		I set my computer to download all night long, and despite what you are thinking, Angband isn't a large game, even now; it was just modems were that slow in those days.
		Angband (released 1990) has its roots in Rogue (released in the 70's) and its offshoot Moria (released 1985).
		The other two things you should know about Angband are: 1) it is totally random (which accounts for the replayability of it) and 2) since there are no graphics, the programmers put most of their efforts into the AI (Artificial Intelligence).

		As a consequence, Angband now uses Jeffrey Lee's Absolutely module to ensure the Wimpslot is big enough so that I don't have to test out settings by hand.
		Description: Angband is a "graphical" dungeon adventure game using textual characters to represent the walls and floors of a dungeon and the inhabitants therein, in the vein of "rogue", "hack", "nethack", and "moria".
		It has a full overhaul of classes, races, artifacts, etc. It is skill based, has an innovative system for measuring player damage, is shorter than Angband (50 levels rather than 100) and you are travelling "from the centre of the earth" to the surface.
