NAME
     rogue -- exploring The Dungeons of Doom

SYNOPSIS
     rogue [-r] [save_file] [-s] [-d]

DESCRIPTION
     The  rogue  is a computer fantasy with a new twist.  It is CRT oriented and
     the object of the game is to survive the attacks of  various  monsters  and
     gather  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 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.

     The -s option will print out the list of scores.

     For more detailed directions, read the document A Guide to the Dungeons  of
     Doom.

BUGS
     Probably infinite, although none are known.   However,  that  Ice	Monsters
     sometimes transfix you permanently is not a bug.  It's a feature.
