                     23:
                     24:        <p align="justify"><u>Rogue</u> is a computer fantasy game with a new twist.
                     25:        It is crt oriented and the object of the game is to survive the attacks of various
                     26:        monsters and get a lot of gold, rather than the puzzle solving orientation
                     27:        of most computer fantasy games.</p>
                     28:
                     29:        <p align="justify">To get started you really only need to know two commands.
                     30:        The command ? will give you a list of the available commands and the command /
                     31:        will identify the things you see on the screen.</p>
                     32:
                     33:        <p align="justify">To win the game (as opposed to merely playing to beat
                     34:        other people's high scores) you must locate the Amulet of Yendor which is
                     35:        somewhere below the 20th level of the dungeon and get it out. Nobody has
                     36:        achieved this yet and if somebody does, they will probably go down in history
                     37:        as a hero among heros.</p>
                     38:
                     39:        <p align="justify">When the game ends, either by your death, when you quit,
                     40:        or if you (by some miracle) manage to win, <u>rogue</u> will give you a list of the
                     41:        top-ten scorers. The scoring is based entirely upon how much gold you get.
                     42:        There is a 10% penalty for getting yourself killed.</p>

                     53:        to load  a  previously saved game from that file.</p>
                     54:        <p align="justify">With  the  <b>-n</b>  option,  <u>rogue</u> will load a game with the
                     55:        name <i>playername</i> from a location defined at compile time.  If no such
                     56:        game  exists,  it will start one.</p>
