Angband n. /ang'band/   Like {nethack}, {moria}, and {rogue},    one of the large freely distributed Dungeons-and-Dragons-like    simulation games, available for a wide range of machines and    operating systems. The name is from Tolkien's Pits of Angband    (compare {elder days}, {elvish}).   Has been described as "Moria on    steroids"; but, unlike Moria, many aspects of the game are    customizable.   This leads many hackers and would-be hackers into    fooling with these instead of doing productive work.   There are many    Angband variants, of which the most notorious is probably the rather    whimsical Zangband. In this game, when a key that does not    correspond to a command is pressed, the game will display "Type ?    for help" 50% of the time.   The other 50% of the time, random error    messages including "An error has occurred because an error of type    42 has occurred" and "Windows 95 uninstalled successfully" will be    displayed.   Zangband also allows the player to kill Santa Claus (who    has some really good stuff, but also has a lot of friends), "Bull    Gates", and Barney the Dinosaur (but be watchful; Barney has a nasty    case of halitosis). There is an official angband home page at    `http://www.phial.com/angband' and a zangband one at    `http://thangorodrim.angband.org'.   See also {Random Number God}.
