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

  33        of Doom.

  42 BUGS
  43        Probably infinite.  Currently known bugs are: Sometimes you  are  still
  44        hungry  even  after you eat food and sometimes you get a monster on the
  45        screen in reverse video which may or may not cause a core dump.
