To the net, and especially Michael C. Toy:
We have rogue for our IBM, and we like it. We have been
rather successful at this version, so our high score list has
some pretty high scores . There are quite a few bugs (such as a
divide overflow message right in the middle of nowhere which
leaves you with the MS-Dos prompt and no game) but the one that
annoys us the most is the bug in the high score list. We had one
total winner. Do you know what happened when he made it to the
light of day??? He was placed at the top of the high score list,
and marked a total winner. But then PC-Rogue went ahead and
changed every name on the high score list into a total winner. A
few days later, someone picked up the amulet, and died on the way
up. He was marked `honored by the guild' and so was everyone
else on the list. Does anyone have a bug fix??? PLEASE???
While we're on the subject of bugs, my favorite one was my last
game. I put on a ring of slow digestio n when I was `weak', and
the `weak' message disappeared. I never got hungry again for the
rest of the game. It was about five levels later that I died.
How about that?? Of course, once my friend put on a ring and the
games just died, so I suppose it sort of evens out.
