+<h2>History</h2>
+<p>Michael Morgan, Ken Dalka, and their colleagues at AT&amp;T kept working on Advanced Rogue after releasing <a href="arogue5.html">version 5.8</a>. Their game eventually had nine character classes, some with special conduct requirements. They also rewrote the time system.</p>
+<p>In July 1986, they made a release numbered 7.7, the last surviving version of Advanced Rogue, though there are some references to a version 7.8.</p>
+<p>The <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180418191859/http://rogue.rogueforge.net/">Roguelike Restoration Project</a> found the source code "floating on the internet" and produced a restored version in 2006.</p>
+<p>The Roguelike Gallery began maintaining Advanced Rogue 7 in 2015. Some bugs related to command repetition and saving games have been fixed.</p>
