I too cannot remember the name of an old game

[kamui2]

I played it on a 386. Its an adventure game, where your character was the cursor, back in dos its a blinking square. The different enemies were letters and everytime you moved, they did to. You could by weapons and armor and in a part two version you could be different races. There were dungeons that you went down into to level up and build your stats. I remember you could pry gems off tombs, and sometimes a vampire would awake and kill you.

I wanna say it started with an L, but its been so long.

Thanks

Rogue, or Moria perhaps?
It's like a rpg and every graphic in the game are made up of different symbols, like #, @, _, % etc.. - I think the right description is ASCII-graphics?

There are alot of ports to theese. and probably clones. (Moria might be derived from Rogue.)

I looked at rogue, and it looks similar, but its not the same game I believe. I'll keep looking at more info on rogue to make sure, but thanks for the help.

It's hard to say, there are heaps of ASCII games like that.

Try Nethack, it's my favourite Roguelike.

Also, check all the games in the following link

It's probably in there somewhere.
