Moria (Severn)

This game loads to present the player with an impressive list of instructions in re-defined lettering. The object of the game is to find Durin's ring and then find the exit from the mines of Moria.

En route you will encounter many monsters including Orcs, Balrogs and the dreaded Trolls. When faced with such obstacles there are two options, attack or retreat. Various other features reveal themselves as the game progresses but after playing Moria a couple of times the game becomes very tedious and is unlikely to hold interest for long.

The display is just a simple grid of 6 x 6 squares and the use of sound is minimal. Loading was satisfactory and the instructions were clear and easy to use.

The game is described by Severn Software as an adventure, but do not expect an adventure in the usual sense of the word.
