There are 2 games in my life that I cannot live without. Rogue and Angband. I still play them, people still look at me like Im a goof when they see it on my computer, and I still come back and say all the sound, all the graphics, all the volumetric fog, all the extra-ordinary physics models, still don't hold a candle the trillion of hours of enjoyable game play these two games offer, and they have no graphics! Now that says something.

AWESOME choice. :-)

Yes, rogue is a classic, but you should play nethack! www.nethack.org.... To find those secret doors press s, and descend into the deep dark recesses of a game infinitely less cool than nethack.

Just wondering...
I always seem to run out of food in level 18 or 19, is there a way to get more food (other then just finding a red clover) ?

Besides that (rather big) inconvenience... it's an awesome game! =)

----------
Also...

Loading a savegame (with "rogue rogue.sav"), will delete the file "rogue.sav" itself

You can make a batchfile (call it "load.bat" or whatever) and put the following text in to always make sure you keep a few (up to 5) backup savegame copies:

Code:
@echo off
:begin
if not exist rogue.sav goto reload
if exist rogue4.sav copy rogue4.sav rogue5.sav
if exist rogue3.sav copy rogue3.sav rogue4.sav
if exist rogue2.sav copy rogue2.sav rogue3.sav
if exist rogue1.sav copy rogue1.sav rogue2.sav
if exist rogue.sav copy rogue.sav rogue1.sav
copy rogue.sav rogue1.sav
goto start

:reload
if not exist rogue1.sav goto nosave
copy rogue1.sav rogue.sav

:start
Echo Starting Rogue using rogue.sav (or press Ctrl-c to abort) ...
pause
rogue rogue.sav
pause
goto begin

:nosave
echo No previous savegame found!
echo Starting new game (or press Ctrl-c to abort)
pause
rogue
pause
goto begin

:end
---

Using this, you can keep a few midgame saves.
To save, press shift-s in game, save to the default name (rogue.sav), then it quits, makes a backup copy, and goes back into the game where you left off.

(used this batch for decades, works like a charm )

Ooooh! Nice! I used to have a 3.5"diskette with a few nerdy tools, like attrib (not standard in the old dos), pctools, arj/lha/pkzip, a text-editor and such. It had rogue hidden on it, and i always sneaked it into the computer room of our school. (-:

I looked for it a few times, but i couldn't find it anymore. It's been years! Thanks so much!

The ring of slow digestion should help you go by with less food.
