| 10 .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 11 .PP | |
| 12 .I Rogue | |
| 13 is a computer fantasy game with a new twist. It is crt oriented and the | |
| 14 object of the game is to survive the attacks of various monsters and get | |
| 15 a lot of gold, rather than the puzzle solving orientation of most computer | |
| 16 fantasy games. | |
| 17 .PP | |
| 18 To get started you really only need to know two commands. The command | |
| 19 .B ? | |
| 20 will give you a list of the available commands and the command | |
| 21 .B / | |
| 22 will identify the things you see on the screen. | |
| 23 .PP | |
| 24 To win the game (as opposed to merely playing to beat other people high | |
| 25 scores) you must locate the Amulet of Yendor which is somewhere below | |
| 26 the 20th level of the dungeon and get it out. Nobody has achieved this | |
| 27 yet and if somebody does, they will probably go down in history as a hero | |
| 28 among heros. | |
| 29 .PP | |
| 30 When the game ends, either by your death, when you quit, or if you (by | |
| 31 some miracle) manage to win, | |
| 32 .I rogue | |
| 33 will give you alist of the top-ten scorers. The scoring is based entirely | |
| 34 upon how much gold you get. There is a 10% penalty for getting yourself | |
| 35 killed. | |
| 36 .PP | |

| 63 .SH BUGS | |
| 64 .PP | |
| 65 Probably infinite. Currently known bugs are: Sometimes you are still hungry | |
| 66 even after you eat food and sometimes you get a monster on the screen in | |
| 67 reverse video which may or may not cause a core dump. |
