Recently I played a version of rogue entitled "ADVANCED ROGUE 1.3".
Some of the features included over 150 monsters, which could throw
arrows, bolts, etc.. Included in the monster list were Prince Devils
such as Jubliex, Arch Devils such as Asmodesus, and an assortment of
lesser devils (pit fiends, bone, ice, horned), and greater and lesser gods.
An entire spectrum of dragons such as fire, acid, ice, and some others
were to be found too.
However the most interesting part of the game was the option
to pick one of four character classes from the following:
Magic User, able to cast spells which could get extremely powerful
Cleric, also a spell caster but with the ability to turn undead
Thief, able to steal from monsters in the dungeon
Fighter, similar to the traditional rogue.
The additions of the monsters, who can also cast spells, and the character
classes made for a very interesting game. Each character also had
intelligence, strength, wisdom, dexterity, and constitution which played
important factors in the game as well. Added things like a flea market and
a maze made the entire thing fantastic.
I would like to obtain information about this game and I hope to
spark the interest of a few who would like to hear more. Please post
on this newsgroup or reply by mail.
Thank You
