| 1010 | 1465 | 2000-01-31 15:31:51 | <em>Category:</em> Role Playing<br> <em>Description:</em> It's a freeware computer role playing game based (loosely) on the books of J.R.R.Tolkien. You explore a very deep dungeon, kill monsters, try to equip yourself with the best weapons and armor you can find, and finally face Morgoth - "The Dark Enemy". <p> Angband has a very long history. It started 1990 as an improved and "Tolkienized" variant of Moria. Moria itself was created in 1985 and was inspired by Rogue (from the late 70s). Countless changes were introduced by many programmers on the way to the current versions of Angband. | ZAngband 2-2-8 | new | |

Steps are being taken to clean, spank, and re-fashion the Quake code with an eye on portability, backwards compatibility, threading, network enhancement, 3D enhancement, sound enhancement, playability, software rendering enhancement, SDL extensions, QuakeC extensions, XDGA, and possible new features (if they do not break backwards compatibility). An attempt will be made to provide free maps/textures/models/etc. QuakeForge is in need of developers. | QuakeForge 0.1.0 | new | |
