moria

/mor'ee-▫/ Like {nethack} and {rogue}, one of the

large {PD} {Dungeons and Dragons}-like simulation games,

available for a wide range of machines and operating systems.

The name is from Tolkien's Mines of Moria; compare {elder

days}, {elvish}. The game is extremely addictive and a major

consumer of time better used for hacking.
