Following up on our posting of the various Nethack variants on the Nintendo DS, we have uncovered a version of the popular roguelike Angband, as well as a working variant called FAAngband for the NDS.
For those not aware Angband is a dungeon-crawling roguelike computer game derived from Umoria. It is based on the writings of J. R. R. Tolkien, in which Angband is the fortress of Morgoth.
FAangband is based on Oangband. Changes have been made principally with the intent of immersing the player in the world of Tolkien’s Silmarillion late in the First Age. While it is certainly not perfectly consistent (all the bad guys are still alive; all the good guys are dead, or at least have lost their best equipment), an attempt has been made to remove as many anachronisms as possible.
As well as the binaries for the NDS, source is also available for FAAngband, for homebrew coders to tinker with.
