        There has been NetHack for the amiga for quite some time.  I have v3.0,
and is the standard character-based version.  I have recently FTP'd the
HackLite program, which is a graphic version.  They work well.

        When I got Moria 3.0 for the Amiga, the docs said there would be a 4.0
out by June 1989.  Well, it's nearly a year later, and I haven't seen any sign
of this beast.  Does anyone have any news?  The authors said they were going to
add sound, and optomize the code.  The addition of a trading post and multiple
players would be a wonderful addition too.
