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  mon-
       sters and gather	a lot of gold, rather than the puzzle solving orienta-
       tion 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.

       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.
