                     13: is a computer fantasy game with a new twist.  It is crt oriented and the
                     14: object of the game is to survive the attacks of various monsters and get
                     15: a lot of gold, rather than the puzzle solving orientation of most computer
                     16: fantasy games.
                     17: .PP
                     18: To get started you really only need to know two commands.  The command

                     24: To win the game (as opposed to merely playing to beat other people high

                     26: the 20th level of the dungeon and get it out.  Nobody has achieved this
                     27: yet and if somebody does, they will probably go down in history as a hero
                     28: among heros.
                     29: .PP
