38: .SH DESCRIPTION
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.
69: .PP
70: The
71: .B \-s
72: option will print out the list of scores.
73: .PP
74: For more detailed directions, read the document
75: .I "A Guide to the Dungeons of Doom."
