ZAngband is a free roguelike role-playing computer game. It is a variant of Angband available for many different systems including DOS, Windows, Linux, variants of Unix, Mac, Acorn RISC OS and Amiga.
Perhaps the most famous Angband variant, ZAngband was also at one time the most popular. Many of the newer Angband variants owe their origins directly (e.g. ToME, Hengband) or indirectly (both OAngband and EyAngband were partly inspired by ZAngband's success and excesses) to ZAngband.
The name "ZAngband" stands for Zelazny Angband, because ZAngband was mainly based on Roger Zelazny's "Amber" books, rather than the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. (Some have suggested that it should stand for "Zany Angband" instead.)
