| 11 DESCRIPTION | |
| 12 Rogue is a computer fantasy game with a new twist. It is crt oriented | |
| 13 and the object of the game is to survive the attacks of various mon- | |
| 14 sters and get a lot of gold, rather than the puzzle solving orientation | |
| 15 of most computer fantasy games. | |
| 16 | |
| 17 To get started you really only need to know two commands. The command | |
| 18 ? will give you a list of the available commands and the command / | |
| 19 will identify the things you see on the screen. | |
| 20 | |
| 21 To win the game (as opposed to merely playing to beat other people's | |
| 22 high scores) you must locate the Amulet of Yendor which is somewhere | |
| 23 below the 20th level of the dungeon and get it out. Nobody has | |
| 24 achieved this yet and if somebody does, they will probably go down in | |
| 25 history as a hero among heroes. | |
| 26 | |
| 27 When the game ends, either by your death, when you quit, or if you (by | |
| 28 some miracle) manage to win, rogue will give you a list of the top-ten | |
| 29 scorers. The scoring is based entirely upon how much gold you get. | |
| 30 There is a 10% penalty for getting yourself killed. | |
| 31 | |
| 32 If save_file is specified, rogue will be restored from the specified | |
| 33 saved game file. If the -r option is used, the save game file is pre- | |
| 34 sumed to be the default. | |
| 35 | |
| 36 The -s option will print out the list of scores. | |
| 37 | |
| 38 The -d option will kill you and try to add you to the score file. | |

| 41 of Doom. | |

| 54 BUGS | |
| 55 Probably infinite (although countably infinite). However, that Ice | |
| 56 Monsters sometimes transfix you permanently is not a bug. It's a fea- | |
| 57 ture. | |
