25 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 26 | .PP | |
| 27 | .I Rogue | |
| 28 | is a computer fantasy game with a new twist. It is crt oriented and the | |
| 29 | object of the game is to survive the attacks of various monsters and get | |
| 30 | a lot of gold, rather than the puzzle solving orientation of most computer | |
| 31 | fantasy games. | |
| 32 | .PP | |
| 33 | To get started you really only need to know two commands. The command | |
| 34 | .B ? | |
| 35 | will give you a list of the available commands and the command | |
| 36 | .B / | |
| 37 | will identify the things you see on the screen. | |
| 38 | .PP | |
| 6bc80c78 | 39 | To win the game (as opposed to merely playing to beat other people's high |
| 3c85a432 KM |
40 | scores) you must locate the Amulet of Yendor which is somewhere below |
| 41 | the 20th level of the dungeon and get it out. Nobody has achieved this | |
| 42 | yet and if somebody does, they will probably go down in history as a hero | |
| 6bc80c78 | 43 | among heroes. |
| 3c85a432 KM |
44 | .PP |
| 45 | When the game ends, either by your death, when you quit, or if you (by | |
| 46 | some miracle) manage to win, | |
| 47 | .I rogue | |
| 6bc80c78 | 48 | will give you a list of the top-ten scorers. The scoring is based entirely |
| 3c85a432 KM |
49 | upon how much gold you get. There is a 10% penalty for getting yourself |
| 50 | killed. | |
| 51 | .PP | |
| b91f3577 KM |
52 | If |
| 53 | .I save_file | |
| 54 | is specified, | |
| 55 | rogue will be restored from the specified saved game file. | |
| 56 | If the | |
| 57 | .B \-r | |
| 58 | option is used, the save game file is presumed to be the default. | |
| 59 | .PP | |
| 60 | The | |
| 61 | .B \-s | |
| 62 | option will print out the list of scores. | |
| 63 | .PP | |
| 64 | The | |
| 65 | .B \-d | |
| 66 | option will kill you and try to add you to the score file. | |

89 | However, |
| 90 | that Ice Monsters sometimes transfix you permanently is | |
| 91 | .I not | |
| 92 | a bug. | |
