	Angband: a Roguelike Computer Game
		In common with most roguelike games, Angband graphically represents the player's surroundings, the dungeon, and the inhabitants therein by means of textual characters, whilst interaction with the game is done by typing commands.
		The game is turn-based, which is to say, the player can spend as long as he likes deciding on his actions whenever he has the opportunity.
		Angband may also be played using graphical "tiles" to represent the dungeon and its contents, though most people prefer the classical ascii character display.

	MacGamer - Get In The Game
		Angband is generally thought of as a descendant of Rogue, as are NetHack and Moria.
		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).

	Angband - Wikihack - A Wikia wiki
		Angband is a roguelike computer game in a style somewhat different from NetHack.
		Angband and its variants are popular enough to rival NetHack; some classifications divide roguelike games between "hacklikes" and "bands".
		Angband and most of its variants have a Middle-earth theme; the usual goal is to go to the bottom of the dungeon and fight Morgoth.

	Angband - Tales from the Pit
		About 20 years ago, on a computer called the BBC Micro, there was a game called Repton, produced by Superior Software.
		The game was fondly remembered, and about twenty years later, one of the original creators of the Repton series produced versions of Repton 1, 2 and 3 for Windows with updated graphics, sound and a few new levels.
		A game I've loved for years, and I've contributed to it in a significant fashion - of the 112 new levels, 24 are mine.

	Moria
		Moria was a classic game that seems to have been around for ever.
		This game has been around since the dawn of the computer I expect - I first found this game on a mainframe in 1988, and it blew me away.
		It is a version of Angband that has been changed to be more like Lord of the Rings, and it includes missions and quests, and more characters from the book.

	OS/2 e-Zine! - Angband 2.8.3 for OS/2
		Because there is no "official" tech support for Angband (although there is a reasonably good FAQ at the Official Angband Home Page), I decided to create a short work-around: I modified the script to only open the "remote windows" and only after these are all open do I start Angband myself.
		Angband and its ancestors are part of this proud tradition; basically, Angband is about delving ever deeper in a strange and dangerous dungeon, collecting treasure, weapons and magical items...
		Angband is meant to be a game that is played with a character until it dies, and then the game ends.

	"ANGBAND"/ a game review from Christian Spotlight
		I suppose as long as the player keeps in mind that this game is set in an imaginary world and that supernatural power comes from God (in real life), this aspect of the game is not serious.
		The game encourages the use of imagination and strategic thinking, which are rare among current games.
		Games like these contain next to no objectionable elements save the "idea" of the bad elements.

	rec.games.roguelike.angband FAQ part 1
		Angband is also sometimes sold on CD-ROMs containing many free games - while this method of distribution is not strictly permitted by the license, it is not a big deal.
		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.

	NPPAngband: Home Page
		It is an attempt to take the most popular ideas from the many Angband variants, as well as many of the popular patches, and bring them into the "vanilla" Angband environment, and rebalance the game to account for these changes.
		The end goal is to make variant that has an Angband flavor but incorporates many of the ideas and features made popular by other variants.
		Angband is a freeware computer fantasy role-playing game based (very loosely) on the books of J.R.R.Tolkien, belonging to a group of computer games known as "Roguelikes".

	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").
		The core of Angband is written in C programming language, but the the monsters, magic and normal items, artifacts and vaults are described in separate text files, so even people who don't know how to program can modify these and add new creatures, objects and such to Angband.

	Lumbersmiths : A Look at Angband and other Rogue-likes, part 1
		In short, a Rogue-like game is a computer game that uses text (or ASCII) for graphics (but not a "text game" like Zork), and can trace its roots back to a game called Rogue, originally written on a Unix platform.
		The goal varies by game, but progressing further in the game usually means diving deeper into the dungeon to fight tougher monsters and collect better treasure and equipment.
		Each monster in the game has various abilities and tactics, and it takes months if not years of practice to be able to handle the wide assortment of creatures the game throws at you.

	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).

	Re: [ToME3] What is it?

		In any case, it's no more like Nethack than Angband, which itself has the phenomenon of building up monstrous piles of loot in a level that need sorting.
		ToME combat is closer to Angband than many games considered "variants," like Sangband and Zangband.

	Acorn Gaming: Free game: Angband (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		In Angband you must start by creating a new character, and then battle through level after level of adventure, collecting objects and spells, buying and selling items, and generally doing all the sorts of things adventurers are supposed to do, such as lots of fighting with other people.
		Angband is not an Acorn-only game, but is widely available on many platforms, and has been ported to RISC OS computers by Kevin Bracey (author of Zip 2000), who's done an excellent job of it.
		To be honest, this isn't the sort of game which will suit everyone (myself included), but it does have a large band of loyal followers, and I know of people who've happily played this game for many, many hours.

		This is largely thanks to the game itself using a standard format for all its files (saved games, high-scores files, game information, etc).
		The actual game itself is the same no matter what machine you are playing it on.

		"Roguelike" is a word used to describe an entire genre of computer games decsended from or inspired by the game Rogue.
		In general, roguelike games have several characteristics in common although it is not necessary for all of them to be present for a game to be considered roguelike.
		More recently, traditional roguelike games have introduced limited graphical capability by using image tiles in the place of, or as an alternative to, ASCII characters.

		One such 'enhanced' version of the game that quickly took on a life of its own was Angband, and thankfully the concept of being freely available has been retained all through the (long and colourful) history of the game.

	The Pits of Angband
		Like Moria itself, Angband became very popular on the Amiga, which may have been the reason that graphics and even sounds have become an integral part of it, unlike, for example, NetHack, which still defaults to a Unixish view on any operating system.
		The Official Angband Home Page, as it is still called, is maintained by Ben Harrison, the maintainer of Angband until 2000, and is mainly a source for older versions of the game.
		I came across it when I was googling for the Horned Reaper, usually a creature of Dungeon Keeper, but Angband has one too.
