        !            30: .I Rogue
        !            31: is a computer fantasy game with a new twist.  It is crt oriented and the
        !            32: object of the game is to survive the attacks of various monsters and get
        !            33: a lot of gold, rather than the puzzle solving orientation of most computer
        !            34: fantasy games.
        !            35: .PP
        !            36: To get started you really only need to know two commands.  The command
        !            37: .B ?
        !            38: will give you a list of the available commands and the command
        !            39: .B /
        !            40: will identify the things you see on the screen.
        !            41: .PP
        !            42: To win the game (as opposed to merely playing to beat other people's high
        !            43: scores) you must locate the Amulet of Yendor which is somewhere below
        !            44: the 20th level of the dungeon and get it out.  Nobody has achieved this
        !            45: yet and if somebody does, they will probably go down in history as a hero
        !            46: among heroes.
        !            47: .PP
        !            48: When the game ends, either by your death, when you quit, or if you (by

        !            50: .I rogue
        !            51: will give you a list of the top-ten scorers.  The scoring is based entirely
        !            52: upon how much gold you get.  There is a 10% penalty for getting yourself
        !            53: killed.
