ROGUE(6) Games Manual ROGUE(6) NAME rogue - Exploring The Dungeons of Doom SYNOPSIS /usr/games/rogue [ -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 monsters and get a lot of gold, rather than the puzzle solving orientation of most com- puter 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 iden- tify 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 he- roes. 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 presumed 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. AUTHORS Michael C. Toy, Kenneth C. R. C.

Arnold, A guide to the Dungeons of Doom BUGS Probably infinite (although countably infinite). However, that Ice Mon- sters sometimes transfix you permanently is not a bug. It's a feature. 4th Berkeley Distribution May 6, 1986 ROGUE(6)
