ROGUE(6)                                                              ROGUE(6)



NAME
       rogue - Exploring The Dungeons of Doom

SYNOPSIS
       rogue [ save_file ]

DESCRIPTION
       Rogue  is a computer fantasy game with a new twist.  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 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.

       When the game ends, either by your death, when you quit, or if you  (by
       some  miracle)  manage to win, 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.

       For more detailed directions, read the document A Guide to the Dungeons
       of Doom.

BUGS
       Probably infinite.  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.
