  1. It's funny that the Shift key was used as a run in very early games like Rogue (yes it's the same game which gave the name rogue-like) and Moria uses it as such, when you use the Rogue keys. I noticed that just yesterday, when I tried Moria again. And because I'm playing it on a laptop, I don't have a numpad, so switched to the Rogue keys.

  2. Our 100th episode's part 2 will focus on 4 major games that were the first to be properly called "rogue-likes".

    The first of which will be a deep dive on Moria! An open-source redesign of Rogue, you descend 50 levels to fight the all-powerful Balrog.

    It pioneered the concept of a starting town, loot farming, and so much more!

  3. Had some breakthroughs on a game documentation preservation project and am hoping to wrap it up soon. Other projects I'm looking at resuming or taking up:
    - finish playing Baldur's Gate 2
    - another #Umoria port attempt
    - proper Roland MIDI support for #OpenXcom
