  21 <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
  22 <blockquote>
  23
  24         <p align="justify"><u>Rogue</u> 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
  25         monsters and get a lot of gold, rather than the puzzle solving orientation
  26         of most computer fantasy games.</p>
  27
  28         <p align="justify">To get started you really only need to know two commands.
  29         The command ? will give you a list of the available commands and the command /
  30         will identify the things you see on the screen.</p>
  31
  32         <p align="justify">To win the game (as opposed to merely playing to beat
  33         other people high scores) you must locate the Amulet of Yendor which is
  34         somewhere below the 20th level of the dungeon and get it out. Nobody has
  35         achieved this yet and if somebody does, they will probably go down in history
  36         as a hero among heros.</p>
  37
  38         <p align="justify">When the game ends, either by your death, when you quit,
  39         or if you (by some miracle) manage to win, <u>rogue</u> will give you a list of the
  40         top-ten scorers. The scoring is based entirely upon how much gold you get.
  41         There is a 10% penalty for getting yourself killed.</p>
  42
  43         <p align="justify">For more detailed directions, read the document A Guide
  44         to the Dungeons of Doom.</p>

  67 <h2>BUGS</h2>
  68 <p>Probably infinite. Currently known bugs are: Sometimes you are still
  69 hungry even after you eat food and sometimes you get a monster on the
  70 screen in reverse video which may or may not cause a core dump.</p>
