I also managed to kill the Big "B" in amigaMoria just last week.  Surprisingly
easy, but I suspect it was due to a bug.  I found a ring of Slaying, which
inexplicable appeared to work like a ring of speed +7.  I found it at about
1600 ft, and after I found It, I just charged down as deep as I could.  After
I found a Holy Defender Dagger , which I had 5 attacks/round with, I could deal
with just about anything.  I don't think that the game was challenging at all
after I found the ring.  I killed several Greedy Lavender Leprechauns, Ancient
MultiHued Dragons, etc. without any trouble.  I later found several other
rings of slaying, and while wearing two, I had ten turns for every one the
Balrog had, and with the HD Dagger, that's 50 attacks for every one the Balrog
could mount.

Other than this, The port is really well done.  There are a few other bugs,
such as not saving the random number seeds correctly, so the town constantly
rearranges and the woods, metals, and colors of wands, etc. change, and I did
manage to get the game to hang once or twice (I think it was my fault), but
still very nicely done.

Now I can get back to work.....
