Hello,
well, here's the real skinny on the Moria/Angband deal: its opensource and its creators won't let it be sold. The upshot is that there are literally hundreds of variants out there: with added graphics, without; with various sci-fi/fantasy themes, or just Tolkein; with added quests and extra features, others strictly classical; multiplayer and not; strictly Moria, or with many different story/features; etc., etc. Several important websites (out of dozens) would get you covered on what's out there (Thangorodrim has a links page, and is itself devoted to helping to develop variants).

If you can program, then you can very well make your very own variant! A word of caution, when I say low on graphics, imagination required, but very detailed, I really mean it. Games like these are the forefathers of ones like Diablo, but don't think for a minute that you'll see anything close (you won't see it, but you'll play "close") in the effects department.
