MAngband, which was supposed to have multiplayer features Delete SilAngband(?), which I know little about beyond the name Hengband, which another commenter mentioned, with a Japanese influence FAngband, which focused more heavily on the First Age of Middle-Earth
ANGBAND ARTIFACTS SERIAL NUMBERS
Its direct descendant Troubles of Middle-Earth, which scrubbed off the serial numbers after McCaffrey got litigious (again) and added some other stuff like an overworld PernAngband, which IIRC descended from Z, and added a bunch of content from Anne McCaffrey's Pern series
ANGBAND ARTIFACTS FULL
SAngband, with a full skill-tree system ZAngband, pulling heavily from the works of Roger Zelazny Angband itself has been evolving in fits and starts all along (and fairly smoothly for the past few years, though it'll be a long time before you have to worry about *that*.) back when I was still poking at Angband variants regularly (late '90s through mid '00s), there were roughly half a dozen to a dozen major variants and more smaller ones, each of which also had their own different public versions to pay attention to. I think a lot of that is going to be a judgement call. One can almost think of modern rogue-derived games like Diablo as some sort of unbroken family tree going all the way back, one game an expanded version of the previous one until they barely resemble each other. Sounds like it's largely a more refined, polished version of the more refined, polished version of Moria, then? Wheras zAngband is a more refined, polished version of Angband with Zelazny instead of Tolkien as the major influence, and TOME was the more refined, polished version of ZAngband with the Tolkien added back in force. I appreciate these posts where someone actually lays out what Moria did differently from Rogue and now what Angband did differently from Moria, so I can experience them vicariously anyway even if I'll never get too far myself. Rogue, Moria, uMoria, BRogue, ADOM, Angband, zAngband, Dungeon Crawl, Sil, Slashem, TOME2, nethack and unnethack, all loaded into a Win3.1 instance running on Dosbox, but every time I try to actually sit and play some of these, it becomes rapidly clear these sort of games just aren't for me. I've collected over the years, for some reason that escapes me, many roguelikes from corners of the internet.
