Amoria

An Acorn version of Moria where the goal of this early roguelike RPS is to descend in the dungeons of Moria and defeat the evil Balrog who is cowardly hiding on the lowest level. Other than this, there are no other references to J.R.R. Tolkien in this game.

You begin the game by creating your character, choosing your sex and one of eight available races. You can then roll your stats and, when you got some which suit you, choose your class from six available classes (you can only some of them, depending on your stats). After entering a name, you're ready to roll.

The game is entirely played in turns, features text-only graphics showing your environment from above, and is played by entering character commands.

You start in town, where you can visit several shops to buy weapons, armor, torches, food, and other useful -- and sometimes magic -- items. You can barter with the shopkeepers to get reduced prices.

The dungeon levels are randomly generated. They contain a variety of monsters, some of which are invisible, and items, as well as traps and secret doors. Each level has more than one exit. As in other roguelikes, you explore the dungeons, kill monsters as you go, and try to accumulate as much treasure as possible.
