I am considering purchasing Epyx rogue for an Apple Macintosh. Does
anyone know what version of rogue it is based on (e.g. Advanced rogue,
Ultra rogue, other)? Also, how good are the graphics and how good is
the user interface? I would like the opinions of anyone who has played
it. Thanks a lot.

Track down Dungeons of Doom instead.

I can post the address of Woodrose Editions (the publisher) if necessary. Disclaimer: I tested TDR, and know/worked with the distributor. I don't get any $$$ for it, though. >Chuq Von Rospach Editor/Publisher, OtherRealms chuq@sun.COM /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// / Robert Hammen | hammen@csd4.milw.wisc.edu | AppleLink: D0940 / / Delphi: HAMMEN | GEnie: R.Hammen | CI$: 70701,2104 | MacNet: HAMMEN / / Design North, Inc.| 8007 Douglas | Racine WI 53402 | (414) 762-1320 (w) / / 3839 N.
