                     26: .PP
                     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
                     34: .B ?
                     35: will give you a list of the available commands and the command
                     36: .B /
                     37: will identify the things you see on the screen.
                     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
                     46: some miracle) manage to win,
                     47: .I rogue
                     48: will give you a list of the top-ten scorers.  The scoring is based entirely
                     49: upon how much gold you get.  There is a 10% penalty for getting yourself
                     50: killed.
                     51: .PP
                     52: If
                     53: .I save_file
                     54: is specified,
                     55: rogue will be restored from the specified saved game file.
