About

Moria is the classic Macintosh port of UMoria, a turn-based text roguelike inspired by Tolkien's Mines of Moria. Released in 1993 for 68k Macs running System 6 through 7.6, players descend through procedurally generated dungeon levels with the goal of defeating a Balrog at the bottom.Tolkien-Inspired DungeonMoria predates and heavily influenced Angband, and its dungeon-delving formula echoes through later commercial titles, most notably Blizzard's Diablo. Levels are randomized, items are unidentified, and death is permanent.Mac GUI AdaptationUnlike its terminal ancestors, the Mac build offers a windowed interface with menu access to commands while preserving the classic ASCII map and keyboard-driven play that roguelike fans expect.Compatibility NotesThe port targets 68k architecture and runs natively on System 6.x through 7.6. A known issue causes the game to quit unexpectedly when running under Classic mode after entering minimum starting attributes.Roguelike LineageAs one of the earliest free, source-available roguelikes, UMoria seeded a generation of dungeon crawlers and remains a touchstone for understanding the genre's design vocabulary.
