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