+This game is a version of Rogue 3.6. It was originally written by Michael Toy, Ken Arnold, and Glenn Wichman, released in June 1981, +and distributed with BSD. This was the first widely-played version of Rogue.
+The Roguelike Restoration Project updated Rogue 3.6 to run on modern systems.
+The Roguelike Gallery's version has been further modified to work with dgamelaunch and to log the results of all games.
+The source code can be downloaded.
+This game is a version of Rogue 5.2. It was originally written by Michael Toy, Ken Arnold, and Glenn Wichman, released in April 1982, +and distributed with BSD. It is called V4 because it has more in common with the previous 4.x releases than with the 5.x versions which followed it.
+The Roguelike Restoration Project updated Rogue 5.2 to run on modern systems.

+This game is a version of Rogue 5.4. It was originally developed by Michael Toy, Ken Arnold, and Glenn Wichman from 1983 to 1985. This was the last version +created for Unix.
+The Roguelike Restoration Project updated Rogue 5.4 to run on modern systems.
+The Roguelike Gallery's version has been further modified to work with dgamelaunch and to log the results of all games.
+The source code is available for download.
+Super-Rogue was developed from Rogue 3.6 by Robert Kindelberger, who added many new monsters and items. It +was completed in 1984.
+Some of Super-Rogue's features, such as shops, mazes, and cockatrices, appeared in the original Hack at about the same time.
+The Roguelike Restoration Project updated Super-Rogue to run on modern systems.
+The Roguelike Gallery modified Super-Rogue to work with rlgallery.org's system, and fixed a few bugs which made winning easy.
+The source code is available for download. Warning: I haven't gotten to the documentation yet.
+TTYREC files are recordings of text-based sessions, much like screencasts are recordings of graphical sessions. The Roguelike Gallery and other roguelike +sites create ttyrec recordings of games played online, so that others can watch them. The Archiver will search rlgallery.org's +ttyrecs for you.
+As you might expect, ttyrecs are not video files that can be played in video players. They contain mostly text, and you will need a ttyrec player to +watch them.
+The original ttyrec program comes with ttyplay.
+Termrec includes termplay, which is easy to use and works on Windows.
+IPBT is a newer player that allows you to rewind while playing.
+A ttyrec produced on one kind of terminal will not play properly on a different kind of terminal. Most modern terminals are similar and should produce +compatible ttyrecs, but you might come across a file that won't work.
+Replaying also might not work properly if your terminal is a different size from the one that produced the ttyrec. If things are getting drawn in the +wrong places, try making your terminal bigger. Unfortunately, ttyrecs don't tell you what the proper size is.
+(But it can sometimes be deduced, if you don't mind poking around with a hex editor. Check near the beginning for the sequence +[1;r )
+Note: if you are using ipbt, you must also tell ipbt what size terminal to use. Check ipbt's documentation.
