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.

65 Probably infinite. Currently known bugs are: Sometimes you are still hungry
