# BOSS: Beyond Moria 2.5

This repository contains the VMS Pascal source code for the Boss Moria

roguelike game, as developed by Robert Gulledge and Jason Black at the

University of Washington, sometime around 1991.

This is a variant of the original Moria game written by Robert Alan Koeneke.

## Summary

BOSS is a new offspring of the popular dungeon adventure game Moria. Where

Moria involves swords, dragons, and sorcery, BOSS is is a semi-futuristic game

with a twisted sense of humor. While playing, your character will battle evil

scientists, psychotic gang members, hideous mutants, vicious aliens, and the

Boss himself. The goal of defeating the Boss is obtained only after exploring

the chaotic system of tunnels that exist below eight cities overrun by the

Boss's minions.

BOSS differs from Moria (and Imoria) in many ways. Many of these differences

are very obvious, but some may take awhile to be discovered. Major differences

include: fewer races, different classes, lack of "magic", multiple cities, and

less overall time committment needed to fully explore and maybe win the game.

Good luck playing BOSS and most importantly, have fun!

## Notes

BOSS source code for v2.4 was taken from [Beej's Moria page](http://beej.us/moria),

and v2.5 source was taken from the official BOSS homepage, which is now only

available at the [Internet Acvhive](https://web.archive.org/web/20130118205257/http://arcywidmo.republika.pl/boss/).
