Moria
Explore the dungeons in Purple X's colour Macintosh port of Moria.
Richard Knuckey, 1994
Play the complete original Purple X Moria 1.1.1 Macintosh port, based on UMoria 5.5.2. Choose New from File. Pick a race, then M or F; Escape accepts the rolled statistics. Pick a class, enter a name and press Return, then Return again to enter town.
The arrow keys are mapped to the numeric keypad for movement. Keypad 4, 6, 8 and 2 move west, east, north and south. On a down staircase, > descends; Space acknowledges messages.
The complete original package and its copyright notices are preserved. Redistribution is recorded under its original educational, research and nonprofit terms.
Bounded native 68K testing covers character creation, town movement, descent to 50 feet and movement in the dungeon. Browser worker/WebGL testing also covers character creation, town movement, descent to 50 feet and dungeon movement. Public v0.93.0 testing confirms character creation, all four town directions, descent to 50 feet and west/north dungeon movement from the exact hosted archive. Combat, sustained play, saves and audio remain unverified. This original package contains no PowerPC version.

Notes
Complete unchanged six-file distribution with both original forks, including the game, top-level Read Me and four Documentation files. The outer StuffIt and inner Compact Pro are not repacked. Fresh original and intake downloads match the pinned hash and size. Version resources identify Purple X Moria 1.1.1 / UMoria 5.5.2; all 12 CODE resources and no PPC cfrg identify this as 68K. The 1994 year is supported by original application creation/modification dates. This records the original historical grant, not an inferred modern GPL licence.
