*** Go Ahead, Lineeater, Make My Day *** Greetings, world. I've heard tell that there is a version of PC-Rogue loose in the world. Is this true? Is the source PD? Could someone send me the source, or if there is much interest, post it to the net? Thanks, and happy rogueing!! csnet: tedc@thaynix.dartmouth.edu uucp: ...seismo!decvax!dartvax!tedc Thought for the day: "That's a Smith and Wesson, and you've had your six"- James Bond

It is identical to the original PC Rogue which was marketed by A.I. Design, which made a distribution agreement with Epyx. It is based on the original source, which isn't surprising since Mike Toy works for Epyx. The source for this is, not surprisingly, not available. Ken Arnold

Could someone send >> me the source, or if there is much interest, post it to the net? There IS a version of Rogue available for the PC. It is available from Epyx, Inc., I believe. There used to be one available from an outfit called Artificial Intelligence Design, in Mountain View, CA., but I don't know if they are still selling it or what. Your best bet is to get a copy of HACK for the PC, which is available for downloading from my bulletin board system, number shown below. HACK is a better game than Rogue, anyhow, and IS a PD program (I have sources on the BBS, as well as the game itself). If all else fails, and you can't get HACK any other way, drop me email and I'll let you know how to get it directly from me. -- Mike Farren uucp: {your favorite backbone site}!hplabs!well!farren Fido: Sci-Fido, Fidonode 125/84, (415)655-0667

Of course you didn't answer his question... PC-Rogue is not public-domain, nor can you get the source to it because Epyx NOW owns the copyright. > Your best bet is to get a copy of HACK for the PC, which is available >for downloading from my bulletin board system, number shown below. HACK is >a better game than Rogue, anyhow, and IS a PD program (I have sources on the >BBS, as well as the game itself). HACK is NOT public-domain, rather, the author has allowed distribution of it. Anyhow, HACK is NOT better than Rogue. hou2e!ksl

The Epyx version of Rogue is the one from AI Design -- they are simply the distributors. Rogue is NOT Public Domain, and it never has been. Sources to Rogue are not available. If you want sources, get the hack sources. If you just want to play, either download PC-Hack or buy the AI version of rogue. chuq -- :From the lofty realms of Castle Plaid: Chuq Von Rospach chuq%plaid@sun.COM FidoNet: 125/84 CompuServe: 73317,635 {decwrl,decvax,hplabs,ihnp4,pyramid,seismo,ucbvax}!sun!plaid!chuq The first rule of magic is simple.
