This repository contains the VMS Pascal source code for the Moria UB roguelike game, as developed by Nick B Triantos at the State University of New York at Buffalo, and released 1988-02-23.
This is a variant of the original Moria game written by Robert Alan Koeneke.
Note that although this version of Moria is called version 5.00, it is NOT version 5.00 as released by the authors of the program. This program has been modified by William Palter and Nick B Triantos, to the extent that it can no longer be considered a Moria 4.8x version. There are various features in this version that can only be found in this version.
This is also written in VMS Pascal, and is only available for VAX/VMS systems. Some of the distinguishing features of this version are:
- A Black Market where one can purchase highly enchanted magic items at 100 times normal value.
- Monsters on the town level worth negative experience (Mother and Baby, Small Child)
- Shadow Balrogs start appearing at level 50 with the real Balrog at level 1200 - this makes it a bit difficult to win.
- New items, and many more new monsters.
Note: sometimes referred to as VMS Moria 5.0 or Moria 5.0. It should not be confused with Umoria 5.x. This is based on the Moria 4.8 sources.
Apparently there is a Moria UB 5.1 version, but this is not available outside Univ Buffalo. If you have access to this source code please get in touch!
