ToME1 was Troubles of Middle-earth (based on PernAngband, based on ZAngband, based on Angband, based on Moria, inspired by Rogue.)

ToME2 was Tales of Middle-earth (continued from version 1.)

ToME3 was ToME3 engine (never used for any game world.)

ToME4 was ToME4 engine, which was asked for suggestions to rename so it'd be a game defined on being something other than Middle-earth, because of being afraid for legal reasons, when 120+ other free games (Moria, Angband variants) based on Middle-earth were already released with zero legal repercussions, and are continuing with that being the case.



If you're nominating ToME4 then of course both games will have to have the full name spelled out so people don't get confused after ToME4 had it's version numbering decreased back from four and is now approaching two.

Others, that are, I've repeatedly asked to be on the list are Moria (when it was still under development!,) Angband (still under development mid-to-late last year,) Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (still under development late last year, which I play the ASCII version,) Larn (still under development,) even Rogue (from package bsdgames, still under development late last year)... of course, ToME2 is the most advanced of this style. ToME4 is a newer, different style; I'm not a fan of it. It's the programmer's original abbreviation/version (site used to be t-o-m-e.net, still on Internet Archive.)ToME1 was Troubles of Middle-earth (based on PernAngband, based on ZAngband, based on Angband, based on Moria, inspired by Rogue.)ToME2 was Tales of Middle-earth (continued from version 1.)ToME3 was ToME3 engine (never used for any game world.)ToME4 was ToME4 engine, which was asked for suggestions to rename so it'd be a game defined on being something other than Middle-earth, because of being afraid for legal reasons, when 120+ other free games (Moria, Angband variants) based on Middle-earth were already released with zero legal repercussions, and are continuing with that being the case.If you're nominating ToME4 then of course both games will have to have the full name spelled out so people don't get confused after ToME4 had it's version numbering decreased back from four and is now approaching two.Well ADOM is not Free/Libre/Opensource Software (FLOSS.)Others, that are, I've repeatedly asked to be on the list are Moria (when it was still under development!,) Angband (still under development mid-to-late last year,) Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (still under development late last year, which I play the ASCII version,) Larn (still under development,) even Rogue (from package bsdgames, still under development late last year)... of course, ToME2 is the most advanced of this style.
