<p>This game is a version of XRogue 8.0.</p>
<h2>History</h2>
<p>XRogue is a further development of <a href="arogue7.html">Advanced Rogue 7</a>, created by Robert Pietkivitch. He completed this version, numbered 8.0, in 1991 or 1992. Compared to its predecessor, it features interface improvements and small adjustments to the game's balance.</p>
<p>Robert Pietkivitch provided the XRogue source code to the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180418191859/http://rogue.rogueforge.net/">Roguelike Restoration Project</a> and helped with the restoration work. Sadly, he was killed in a car accident on December 3, 2002, leaving an unfinished set of changes.</p>
<p>The Roguelike Restoration Project continued working on XRogue until 2005, when an update numbered 8.0.3 was released.</p>
<p>The Roguelike Gallery began maintaining XRogue in 2015, fixing some bugs related to command repetition and saved games.</p>
