moria /mor'ee-*/ n.
Like nethack and rogue, one
of the large PD Dungeons-and-Dragons-like simulation games,
available for a wide range of machines and operating systems. The
name is from Tolkien's Mines of Moria; compare elder days,
elvish. The game is extremely addictive and a major consumer
of time better used for hacking. See also nethack,
rogue, Angband.
