It is crt oriented and the +object of the game is to survive the attacks of various monsters and get +a lot of gold, rather than the puzzle solving orientation of most computer +fantasy games. +.PP +To get started you really only need to know two commands. The command +.B ? +will give you a list of the available commands and the command +.B / +will identify the things you see on the screen. +.PP +To win the game (as opposed to merely playing to beat other people high +scores) you must locate the Amulet of Yendor which is somewhere below +the 20th level of the dungeon and get it out. Nobody has achieved this +yet and if somebody does, they will probably go down in history as a hero +among heros. +.PP +When the game ends, either by your death, when you quit, or if you (by +some miracle) manage to win, +.I rogue +will give you alist of the top-ten scorers. The scoring is based entirely +upon how much gold you get. There is a 10% penalty for getting yourself +killed. +.PP +For more detailed directions, read the document +.I "A Guide to the Dungeons of Doom." +.SH FILES +.DT +.B Score file is searched for in these directories: +.PP +$ROGUEHOME/rogue52.scr +.br +/var/games/roguelike/rogue52.scr +.br +/var/lib/roguelike/rogue52.scr +.br +/var/roguelike/rogue52.scr +.br +/usr/games/lib/rogue52.scr +.br +/games/roguelik/rogue52.scr +.br +rogue52.scr +.PP +.B Default save file +.PP +~/rogue.sav +.SH SEE ALSO +Michael C.

Currently known bugs are: Sometimes you are still hungry +even after you eat food and sometimes you get a monster on the screen in +reverse video which may or may not cause a core dump.
