Import saves?

The saves in the zip file replace your saves that have the same name. If the game runs, it starts again.

Reset game files?

This puts back all the files that the game came with, also the files that you deleted or changed. Files that the game made, such as saves, stay. If the game keeps a save in one of its own files, that save is lost. If the game runs, it starts again.

Delete your saves?

This deletes all your saves and all your changes to this game. You cannot undo this. To keep a copy, export your saves first. If the game runs, it starts again.

Sure: The game saves your character on your hard drive. Each time you save using CTRL-X , it will bump you to the C:\prompt. It is important that you back-up your character each time you play. You do so by typing copy moria.sav moria1.sav and press enter. The prompt will confirm that the the file was copied. In the event that you die, you will end with a c:\ prompt, and you type the same command only in reverse, as follows: copy moria1.sav moria.sav This will copy the most recently saved character (still alive) back to your game. Then you play the game as usual by typing moria and pressing enter. It is a good idea to back-up your character when you encounter a dangerous monster like an Evil Iggy, the Balrog or an anciant multi-hued dragon. Then you can restore it if you die without losing too much progress.

Larry, would you mind giving step-by-step directions on how to revive a character after death when playing in the browser? I did the "copy moria.sav moria1.sav" part in the C:\ prompt and I got confirmation that a copy was successfully made, but I can't figure out how to load that copy after my character dies.

BRO: If you want to play the moria1.sav file, you can copy it back as follows: copy moria1.sav moria.sav Then run moria as usual.

The commenter Larry describes a way to resurrect your player after you die by making a copy of the save file. I'm playing through a browser, After I save and I'm at the DOS command line I followed his instructions of typing in "copy moria.sav moria1.sav", and I get a positive response saying the save file was successfully copied. While playing through the browser, how do I load up this copied save file if my character dies?

I probably have more hours in this game than most people on the planet put together...seriously. I played it on my 8086XT all through college and for years after that. May I recommend you type "copy moria.sav moria1.sav" at the C:\ prompt ? That way if you die, you can resurrect your player at the last save point. You have to do this every time you save.

Hit ? in the game for the list of options. Hit Ctrl-X to save. Use the default name to save (just hit Return).
