What platform would the 1983 release of Moria be classified under? Wikipedia (and our trivia) state that it was was written in VMS Pascal on the VAX-11/780 minicomputer. Though, searching our thread of missing platforms, I see neither VMS nor Vax listed.

Many of these archaic environments are considered insufficiently significant (and with too-small libraries) to open platforms for, but there has been talk both about a general-purpose "Mainframes/minicomputers" hardware umbrella platform or an eg. "Unixes" software platform (though I am given to understand that VAX/VMS wouldn't qualify.)
Last year this would have been unthinkable progress to contemplate, but we how have a Z-code software platform, so anything is possible!
