The status of Sangband

[sygoomei]

Hello everyone!

This is my first post on the forum! Yay!

I've been playing Sangband ever since leaving The Dungeons of Moria, oh... 10 years ago? I've played dozens of versions ranging from one of the original sites (yellow background) through some of Leon's latest installments and on through runegold's version from... 2k6 or 7.

There was a release in May 2k6 I think with upgrades from 16 colours to 256 and a slieu of bug-fixes. I *think* there was a release about a year later with a few more bug-fixes and I *think* (it's hard to recall... I have, oh... 7 copies of sangband on my computer?) I have that one as well--a windows version at least.

Well Runegold has been down for a VERY long time. There have been intermittent outtages in the past; but by now I assume the site is dead for good. Runegold's version is by far my favourite to date, and I wonder if anyone has continued supporting that version of the game.

If not, I wonder what other versions of Sangband--of which there appears (in a google search) to be a few--are comparable, and/or still being supported.

My brother has been studying the Ur civilisation and I was reviewing some notes when I came across the city of Uruk, when I suddenly had the urge to enter my dear old caverns again. I've only ever made it to around lvl 80-86 before I get cocky and die, but one day... one day

Vultexap,
