Moria (video game) The Dungeons of Moria, or just Moria, is a roguelike computer game based loosely on J. R. R. Tolkien's novel "The Lord of the Rings". The game's objective is to kill a Balrog, presumably Durin's Bane, deep within the Mines of Moria. A later port of Moria called "Umoria" (UNIX Moria) inspired the "Angband" roguelike game. This game influenced the preliminary design of Blizzard Entertainment's "Diablo".
