# Angband - The spiritual descendent of the Rogue-like game, Moria.
This is a "graphical" random dungeon, turn based game. You are
represented by an '@' and the monsters in the dungeon are represented
by letters (S = spiders, R = reptile, c = canine, o = orc, h =
humanoid, H = giant humanoid). You can find potions (!), scrolls (?),
rings (=), weapons (variously represented by the pipe and slashes). It
is basically a Tolkien themed, single person, turn based, random
dungeon game. And there are dozens of variations including sci-fi,
Zelazney's Amber series.... etc.

# Betrayal at Krondor - The CLASSIC rpg from Sierra in 1993 is
available for free. When Sierra released their horrible quasi sequel
Betrayal in Antara (no relation to the Krondor storyline) they
released Krondor for free. It was about a 12 meg zip file to download.
I know it can be found on the web still. While its an 11 year old dos
game, BaK is one of the best RPG's ever made. Also, it was a very
early try at being 3d (polygonal landscapes and mountains) and the
graphics really, aren't that bad.

# Ultima IV - Arguably the best ultima game of all. If you have not
played it and you like RPGs, you MUST play this game. It runs in DOS,
but I think it works ok in a DOS box on modern versions of windows. I
had a job once where I had to sit around for weeks waiting for
something to break - passed the time with Ultima IV (and V which I
owned).
