        !            27: .I Rogue
        !            28: is a computer fantasy game with a new twist.  It is crt oriented and the
        !            29: object of the game is to survive the attacks of various monsters and get
        !            30: a lot of gold, rather than the puzzle solving orientation of most computer
        !            31: fantasy games.
        !            32: .PP
        !            33: To get started you really only need to know two commands.  The command

        !            38: .PP
        !            39: To win the game (as opposed to merely playing to beat other people's high
        !            40: scores) you must locate the Amulet of Yendor which is somewhere below
        !            41: the 20th level of the dungeon and get it out.  Nobody has achieved this
        !            42: yet and if somebody does, they will probably go down in history as a hero
        !            43: among heroes.
        !            44: .PP
        !            45: When the game ends, either by your death, when you quit, or if you (by
