Thanks in advance, > >-Sean Colbath Sean - Moria (at least the only implementation that I know about) is a game written in the Tutor language for CDC's Plato Environment. If this is in fact the only implementation, it would not run on a VAX. Of course someone at that site may have written a translation. As for a UN*X version ... I would also like to know if there is such an implementation. Moria (and especially it's updated version: a game called Avatar) is one of the finest adventure-type games I've seen on a computer. It works in a 3-D world and is not unlike rogue/hack (The relationship between Moria and Hack is quite similar to the relationship bet- ween Hack Rogue and Hack).
