Dagorath was a word in Sindarin, the Elvish language J. R. R. Tolkien had created for The Lord of the Rings . The word dagorath meant "battle," but Tolkien had spelled the word with just one "g," not two. "Daggorath" (with two "g"s) could refer only to one thing: an incredibly obscure computer game called Dungeons of Daggorath released in 1982. The game had been made for just one platform, the TRS-80 Color Computer.
