.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
.I 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 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 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.
|
|
|
|
|
.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 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.

|
|
|
|
|
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.
