   1 .TH ROGUE 6

   3 .SH NAME
   4 rogue \- Exploring The Dungeons of Doom
   5 .SH SYNOPSIS
   6 .B rogue

  10 .SH DESCRIPTION
  11 .PP
  12 .I Rogue
  13 is a computer fantasy game with a new twist.  It is crt oriented and the
  14 object of the game is to survive the attacks of various monsters and get
  15 a lot of gold, rather than the puzzle solving orientation of most computer
  16 fantasy games.
  17 .PP
  18 To get started you really only need to know two commands.  The command
  19 .B ?
  20 will give you a list of the available commands and the command
  21 .B /
  22 will identify the things you see on the screen.
  23 .PP
  24 To win the game (as opposed to merely playing to beat other people high
  25 scores) you must locate the Amulet of Yendor which is somewhere below
  26 the 20th level of the dungeon and get it out.  Nobody has achieved this
  27 yet and if somebody does, they will probably go down in history as a hero
  28 among heros.
  29 .PP
  30 When the game ends, either by your death, when you quit, or if you (by
  31 some miracle) manage to win,
  32 .I rogue
  33 will give you alist of the top-ten scorers.  The scoring is based entirely
  34 upon how much gold you get.  There is a 10% penalty for getting yourself
  35 killed.

  38 .I "A Guide to the Dungeons of Doom."
