I'd forgotten how much fun Kamband's Ghost class is - where you start
off at the bottom of the dungeron and have to try to escape upwards,
while hoping to grab items powerful enough to allow you to kill at least
some of the monsters and thus level up enough to survive the eventual
inevitable breath attack or wall-walking undead that moves faster than
you do!

The ability to pass through walls and the extreme stealth of a ghost are
the only things that give you any chance of survival at all at that
depth, plus the fact that Angband's monsters can't chase you up/down
stairs - so the game becomes an attempt to sneak from up staircase to up
staircase without being spotted.   I don't think I've ever managed more
than about ten levels!
