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's 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 heroes. +.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 a list 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 +If +.I save_file +is specified, +rogue will be restored from the specified saved game file. +If the +.B \-r +option is used, the save game file is presumed to be the default. +.PP +The +.B \-s +option will print out the list of scores. +.PP +The +.B \-d +option will kill you and try to add you to the score file. +.PP +For more detailed directions, read the document +.I "A Guide to the Dungeons of Doom." +.SH AUTHORS +Michael C.
