- Short: Zangband 2.2.6c - Roguelike solo RPG
- Author: Many, including Bablos <bablos@cableinet.co.uk>
- Uploader: Bablos <bablos@cableinet.co.uk>
- Version: 2.2.6c
- Type: game/role
- Requires: KS1.3, 1.4Mb RAM. Hard Drive recommended.
-
- Zangband 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
- The Serpent of Chaos.
-
- 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.
- Zangband is adapted from Roger Zelazny's 'Amber' universe.
-
- Angband is constantly under development, and has been since it came out
- in its most basic form back in 1985.
-
- Zangband has an expanded magic system, talking uniques, lots of extra
- weird monsters and vaults and all sorts of other stuff. I won't spoil it
- for you!
-
- Zangband is based upon Angband 2.8.1. If you've never played Angband
- before, try that first; Zangband is harder than 'vanilla' Angband.
-
- Requirements
-
- You'll need at *least* this to run Zangband (and Angband, for that matter)
-
- 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 Zangband:

- o Kickstart 3.0 or better
- o 2Mb of memory
