Short: Kangband 2.9.3r1 - Roguelike solo RPG
Author: Many, including Bablos <angband@blueyonder.co.uk>
Uploader: Bablos <angband@blueyonder.co.uk>
Version: 2.9.3r1
Type: game/role
Requires: KS1.3, 1.4Mb RAM. Hard Drive recommended.
Kangband is a variant of Angband, which is a single player role playing
game. You choose a race and a class, then roll up statistics to describe
your various abilities. Then you're unleashed upon the dungeons of Angband,
ultimately dropping to dungeon level 100 and trying your damndest to kill
Morgoth, Lord of Darkness.
Along the way you encounter a myriad of creatures and uniques to hinder
your progress, and objects and artifacts to help you achieve your goals.
Angband is loosely based on the works of JRR Tolkien, and had the game
Rogue as an ancestor, hence the term 'roguelike' that is encountered in
this guide and many other documents relating to Angband and it's variants.
Kangband was the first variant to introduce a wilderness around the
standard vanilla town, and also introduces the Illusionist class and
the Kobold race.
Angband is constantly under development, and has been since it came out
in its most basic form back in 1985.
Requirements
You'll need at *least* this to run Kangband;
o Kickstart 1.3
o 1.4 Mb of memory
o 68000 - a faster processor is nice, but by no means necessary.
Recommended Configuration
This is what I'd recommend to get the most out of Kangband;
o Kickstart 3.0 or better
o 2Mb of memory
o 68020 or better
