Jangband is a free (as in food) fantasy computer role-playing game.

Jangband is a rewrite of Zangband in Java, with a few additions 
such as network play and updated art. Zangband was in turn a rewrite 
of Angband. Angband's name was taken from Tolkien's name for an 
ancient evil fortress.

Java 1.5 (5.0) or better is required. That is free from www.java.com.

Double-click the jar to start it. If your system unzips it instead, contact your zip software company and complain. Their software is working improperly.

This version is far from finished. Don't expect it to work yet.
