52 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
53 | .PP | |
54 | .I Rogue | |
55 | is a computer fantasy game with a new twist. It is crt oriented and the | |
56 | object of the game is to survive the attacks of various monsters and get | |
57 | a lot of gold, rather than the puzzle solving orientation of most computer | |
58 | fantasy games. | |
59 | .PP | |
60 | To get started you really only need to know two commands. The command | |
61 | .B ? | |
62 | will give you a list of the available commands and the command | |
63 | .B / | |
64 | will identify the things you see on the screen. | |
65 | .PP | |
66 | To win the game (as opposed to merely playing to beat other people's high | |
67 | scores) you must locate the Amulet of Yendor which is somewhere below | |
68 | the 20th level of the dungeon and get it out. Nobody has achieved this | |
69 | yet and if somebody does, they will probably go down in history as a hero | |
70 | among heroes. | |
71 | .PP | |
72 | When the game ends, either by your death, when you quit, or if you (by | |
73 | some miracle) manage to win, | |
74 | .I rogue | |
75 | will give you a list of the top-ten scorers. The scoring is based entirely | |
76 | upon how much gold you get. There is a 10% penalty for getting yourself | |
77 | killed. | |
78 | .PP | |
79 | If | |
80 | .I save_file | |
81 | is specified, | |
82 | rogue will be restored from the specified saved game file. | |
83 | .PP | |
84 | The | |
85 | .B \-s | |
86 | option will print out the list of scores. | |
87 | .PP | |

106 | .SH BUGS | |
107 | .PP | |
108 | Probably infinite, although none are known. | |
109 | However, | |
110 | that Ice Monsters sometimes transfix you permanently is | |
111 | .I not | |
112 | a bug. | |
113 | It's a feature. |
