The Mines of Mordor was written and developed by Scott Cunningham for the TRS-80 and published by Electronic Imaginations in 1979.
Mines of Mordor is a surprisingly addictive turn-based dungeon crawler. The game is completely text-based and uses ascii characters to depict the dungeon. There are no class or character choices other than coming up with a name for your character. Once you choose a name your character is automatically generated. You begin play with a health rating of 6 and this health rating increases as you slay opponents. You also begin the game with a knife, sword, and rope in your inventory.
