History

+

Michael Morgan, Ken Dalka, and their colleagues at AT&T kept working on Advanced Rogue after releasing version 5.8. Their game eventually had nine character classes, some with special conduct requirements. They also rewrote the time system.

+

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.

+

The Roguelike Restoration Project found the source code "floating on the internet" and produced a restored version in 2006.

+

The Roguelike Gallery began maintaining Advanced Rogue 7 in 2015. Some bugs related to command repetition and saving games have been fixed.
