Yin-Yangband is a variant of Angband, which is a single player role playing
game. You choose a race and a class, then roll up statistics to describe
your various abilities. Then you're unleashed upon the dungeons of Angband,
ultimately dropping to dungeon level 100 and trying your damndest to kill
Morgoth, Lord of Darkness.
Along the way you encounter a myriad of creatures and uniques to hinder
your progress, and objects and artifacts to help you achieve your goals.
Angband is loosely based on the works of JRR Tolkien, and had the game
Rogue as an ancestor, hence the term 'roguelike' that is encountered in
this guide and many other documents relating to Angband and it's variants.
Yin-Yangband is based on Angband 2.8.3, and incorporates several patches
that were available at the time, and implements some new races and objects.
It's no longer maintained, so I'm submitting it to Aminet for completeness'
sake.
Angband is constantly under development, and has been since it came out
in its most basic form back in 1985.
