# VMS Moria 4.8

_The Dungeons of Moria_ is a single player dungeon simulation originally

written by Robert Alan Koeneke and first released in 1983 (although Koeneke

wrote a VMS Basic version of Moria the year before in 1982). Moria has

inspired many other games including _Angband_ and perhaps the most famous

roguelike of all, _Diablo_!

This repository contains the original VMS Pascal source code as written

by Robert Alan Koeneke, and assistant programmers Jimmey Wayne Todd and

Gary D. McAdoo.

Want to play Moria?

Most people do not have access to a machine capable of running VMS. Luckily,

Moria was rewritten in the C language a few years later and released as

Umoria. Recently it was made available for the

[Windows and macOS platforms](https://github.com/dungeons-of-moria/umoria).

## Summary

The game of MORIA is a single player dungeon simulation. A player may choose

from a number of races and classes when creating their character, and then

'run' that character over a period of days, weeks, even months; attempting to

win the game by defeating the Balrog which lurks in the deeper levels. The

player will begin their adventure on the town level where they may acquire

supplies, weapons, armor, and magical devices by bartering with various shop

owners. After preparing for their adventure, the player can descend into the

dungeons of MORIA, where fantastic adventures await their coming!

_If you have any other version of VMS Moria than 4.43 and 4.8, then please get

in touch so we can add that code to this repository._
