NAME

rogue - Exploring The Dungeons of Doom
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
@PROGRAM@ [ -r ] [ save_file ] [ -s ] [ -d ]
|
|
|
|
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.
