In Rogue, the player assumes the typical role of an adventurer of early fantasy role-playing games. The game starts at the uppermost level of an unmapped dungeon with myriad monsters and treasure. The goal is to fight one's way to the bottom, retrieve the Amulet of Yendor, then ascend to the surface. Until the amulet is retrieved, the player cannot return to earlier levels. Monsters in the levels become progressively more difficult to defeat. Rare is the adventurer who will again see the light of day. Each dungeon level has a 3 room by 3 room grid, or a dead-end hallway where a room would be expected. Later variations include "mazes" in the place of rooms as well. Unlike most adventure games of the time, the dungeon layout and the placement of objects within are randomly generated. Every time it is played, exploration is equally risky. With an assortment of potions, scrolls, wands, weapons, armor, and food, there are many ways to succeed, and many more ways to die. Maximizing the character's survival potential is always a challenge. While the graphics are archaic by today's gaming standards, the strategy necessary to play and succeed is no less than that required by modern games. [Wikipedia] Latest files
