It is crt oriented + and the object of the game is to survive the attacks of various mon- + sters and get a lot of gold, rather than the puzzle solving orientation + of most computer fantasy games. + + To get started you really only need to know two commands. The command + ? will give you a list of the available commands and the command / + will identify the things you see on the screen. + + 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. + + When the game ends, either by your death, when you quit, or if you (by + some miracle) manage to win, 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. + + If save_file is specified, rogue will be restored from the specified + saved game file. If the -r option is used, the save game file is pre- + sumed to be the default. + + The -s option will print out the list of scores. + + The -d option will kill you and try to add you to the score file. + + For more detailed directions, read the document A Guide to the Dungeons + of Doom. + +AUTHORS + Michael C.
