	MacGamer - Get In The Game
		The game is turn-based, not real time, meaning that you move your character or perform some other single action (like picking up an item or drinking a potion), and the game reacts to your action and to its own internal state.
		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 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 (game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Angband is a dungeon-crawling roguelike computer game derived from Umoria (the C for Unix port of a game called Moria).
		The source code to Angband is available for modification and redistribution, but not strictly free software or open source because it is licensed under "non commercial use" terms, as was its ancestor Moria.
		Angband adopts a more serious tone than NetHack, takes far longer to win for even the best players, and the focus of the game is more on combat tactics, inventory management and risk minimalisation than NetHackish puzzle solving and special casing.

	"ANGBAND"/ a game review from Christian Spotlight
		One of the interesting features of Angband is that no two levels are the same.
		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.

		Angband 2.7.0 was a very clean (but very buggy) rewrite that, among other things, allowed extremely simple porting to multiple platforms, starting with Unix and Macintosh, and by the time most of the bugs were cleaned up, in Angband 2.7.2, including X11, and various IBM machines.
		Angband 2.7.8 was designed to supply another "stable" version that we can all give to our friends, with new "help files" and "spoiler files" for the "online help", plus a variety of minor tweaks and some new features.

	Angband - ToME Wiki
		It is often called "vanilla" Angband to distinguish the game from its variants.
		Sure, both are board games, but you can't exactly carry over anything besides premise of tactical thinking from the former to the latter.
		ToME is an Angband variant, and you don't learn that kind of stuff from unrelated games even if they have schools of magic (an easy concept to grasp, by the way).

		Angband is a reference to Morgoth's "prison of iron." 1b.
		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".

	The Pits of Angband

		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.

	ZangbandTK @ Abandonia Reloaded
		It is very common for Angband players' characters to have names like Jimbob XXIV as testament to those who have gone before (or to the player's lack of imagination, perhaps).
		Like many aspects of the game, including the mosters and quests, they are customisable without the need for recompiling.
		Angband also includes an online help file (accessed by typing '?') documenting almost every aspect of this deep and endlessly rewarding game, and including the Angband Newbie's Guide - strongly recommended reading for anyone venturing into the game for the first time.

	OS/2 e-Zine! - Angband 2.8.3 for OS/2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		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.

	The Linux Game Tome (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Another great thing of the game is the replay vale: I can't think of any game that is so different every time you play it: the class and race you choose, the items you find, the strategies you use can change the game a lot.
		Making it easier to accept death: "now I'll make a really really REALLY invincible one!" In any case, a tip: any class you choose, high elves rock: I don't know, it may be their luck, their great saving throw, their stealth, their charisma, the legend that surrounds them...
		Game turned out to be more fun and more challenging than any other game I ever played.

		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.

		It is recommended that you finish off old games before installing this patch if you have gone beyond 3000' (dungeon level 60), as monster memory and some item properties may change.
		It will NOT crash your game, or damage your savefile: but the changes of order in the monster memory may result in you thinking you have killed a monster when the game says you haven't, or more likely thinking you haven't killed or met a monster when the game says you have.
		Angband seems to survive fine without the 2nd patch, but sigaction is how it Really Ought To Be Done.
