+SYNOPSIS

+
+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'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.

+BUGS
+       Probably  infinite  (although  countably  infinite).  However, that Ice
+       Monsters sometimes transfix you permanently is not a bug.  It's a  fea-
+       ture.
