.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is a computer fantasy with a new twist.
|
|
It is CRT oriented and the object of the game is to survive
|
|
the attacks of various monsters and get a lot of gold, rather
|
|
than the puzzle solving orientation of most computer fantasy games.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To get started you really only need to know two commands.
|
|
The command
|
|
.Ic ?\&
|
|
will give you a list of the available commands and the command
|
|
.Ic /
|
|
will identify the things you see on the screen.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To win the game (as opposed to merely playing to beat other people's high
|
|
scores) you must locate the
|
|
.Em Amulet of Yendor
|
|
which is somewhere below the 20th level of the dungeon and get it out.
|
|
Nobody has achieved this
|
|
yet and if somebody does, they will probably go down in history as a hero
|
|
among heroes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When the game ends, either by your death, when you quit, or if you (by
|
|
some miracle) manage to win,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will give you a list of the top-ten scorers.
|
|
The scoring is based entirely upon how much gold you get.
|
|
There is a 10% penalty for getting yourself killed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar save_file
|
|
is specified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will be restored from the specified saved game file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
option will print out the list of scores.
|
|

.Sh BUGS
|
|
Probably infinite, although none are known.
|
|
However, that Ice Monsters sometimes transfix you permanently is
|
|
.Em not
|
|
a bug.
|
|
It's a feature.
