80's nostalgia - Rogue

[Alex]

Many of you will be too young to remember this game, but it is one of the best games ever made. You can spend literally years playing it. Forget your fancy graphics and games consoles, this is "old-skool" gaming from the Atari and very early PCs. I have only just tracked it down.

I bet no-one can get to level 26 and obtain the amulet of yendor.

Keys:
Movement- arrow keys
Eat (when you are hungry) - e
wield weapon (which weapon to use) - w
wear armour - W
Take off armour - T
Zap (using a wand) - z
Throw (arrows etc) - +
wear ring - P
search for secret door - s (and direction keys)
drink potion - q
read scroll - r
Go down stairs (to next level) - >

This whole game made from all ASCII characters only.
To attack monsters at close range wield a hand weapon and move into them. To shoot arrows wield a bow and "throw" the arrows. Hit the space bar when you see the "more" prompt.
