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