Rogue

Rogue (also known as Rogue: Exploring the Dungeons of Doom) is a dungeon crawling video game by Michael Toy and Glenn Wichman with later contributions by Ken Arnold. Rogue was originally developed around 1980 for Unix-based minicomputer systems as a freely distributed executable. Commercial ports of the game for a range of personal computers were made by Toy, Wichman, and Jon Lane under the company A.I. Design and financially supported by the Epyx software publishers.

Rogue 1.0 by Epyx (TRS-80 CoCo3) - roguecoco3.zip The 1.0 exes were probably cracked by different people at different times. The exes differ 13 bytes in size.

Rogue 1.0 by Jon Lane (DOS) - rogue1_0.zip (Mr. Mctesq was here). The 1.0 exes were probably cracked by different people at different times. The exes differ 13 bytes in size.

Rogue 1.0 , SN:1148 by Jon Lane (DOS) - ai_rogue_1.0.arj (Mr. Mctesq was here, original filename rogue.arj). The 1.0 exes were probably cracked by different people at different times. The exes differ 13 bytes in size.

Rogue 1.0 , SN:0 by Jon Lane (DOS) - ai_rogue_1.0.zip (Mr. Mctesq was here, original filename: rogue.zip). This looks like an uncracked copy of v1.0. The exe differs from the other two 1.0 versions.

Rogue ".1" Beta Test by Jon Lane (DOS) - rogueEasy.zip (Faris was here, easy version). According to the contributor of these files: "They are exactly the same game, but they appear to have been compiled with different difficulty settings, or one (or even both) is hacked. I *think* that the version in the "easy" directory is the hacked version, but I'm not sure."

According to the contributor of these files: "They are exactly the same game, but they appear to have been compiled with different difficulty settings, or one (or even both) is hacked. I *think* that the version in the "easy" directory is the hacked version, but I'm not sure."
