+Moria/UMoria - a roguelike game.
+
+A single player roguelike game with a regenerating dungeon, moria is the
+predecessor of angband with a full-screen, text-based, turn-based interface.
+It features scrolling maps, and an infinite (constantly regenerated) dungeon.
+
+Moria's dungeons are populated by monsters, some of which are inspired by
+J.R.R. Tolkien's books. The goal of the game is to find and kill the Balrog,
+whereupon the player is crowned King. Your player can be created from a
+combination of 8 races (human, half-elf, elf, halfling, gnome, dwarf, half-orc,
+half-troll) and 6 classes (warrior, mage, priest, rogue, ranger, paladin),
+and is measured by 6 attributes (strength, dexterity, intelligence, wisdom,
+constitution, and charisma).
+
+NOTE: despite the package name, this is actually UMORIA 5.5.2.
+ Also, this is a repackaging of Debian's binary, as the original source
+ seems to be impossible to find.
