How ever this game will undergo a total rewrite very soon I.e. this year (2008) as I am getting very excited about this project again. 
 
So this is a big chance to let me know what you want in the make-over. I.e quests, classes, magic, references from Return the Firetop Mountain, Death Trap Dungeon or other Fighting Fantasy Books, etc.

About

A game inspired by the Fighting Fantasy book "The Warlock of Firetop Mountain" by Ian Livingstone & Steve Jackson 1982,2002. Descend into the mountain and defeat the evil warlock Zagor to aquire his treasure.

This is an extended version of the Seven-Day roguelike Warlock of Firetop Mountain.

This game was influenced by many other roguelikes including Moria, ADOM and Crawl. Also influencing my decision to write this game to begin with was from following the development of Warp Rogue and DoomRL.
