I have seen Moria on one of the unix systems here and like it a lot! I am a fan of nethack, and Omega etc and would love to have this baby on the amiga at home! Anyone know of a port of it? There are docs for this version (v5.2) which apply to porting it to such 'puters as Mac, TS-IRATA an IBM-PC but nothing for the amiga.... Doug barton@latcs1.oz.au

Yes, I'm porting it now. I've got one known bug and have to add a cursor and the beta (alpha?) version will be done. I've talked to the author and he said it will probably take him a month to add the source corrections to his version. As soon as I fixed the bug (hopefully today) and at least think about adding a cursor again I'll be looking for a few beta testers. I would prefer people who have experience with the unix version. If anyone's interested send me some e-mail. I would like to make one comment about my port though. It is NOT a typical amiga port. It looks (hopefully) exactly like the unix version as it was intended to. If you want a flashly game write to the author of Amiga Moria to update it. Also while I'm at it. Moria NEEDS a 80x24 screen, does anyone know of a public domain font that will get a 80x24 terminal in a normal workbench window? Right now, I'm opening a screen but I'd like to use just a window. Please don't follow up this to comp.sys.amiga since I don't have all day just to read the news. -- Corey Gehman cg377170@eng.clemson.edu
