[net.games.rogue] Rogue 7.7

amigo2@ihuxq.UUCP (John Hobson) (02/25/84)

I have just gotten someting calling itself Rogue 7.7, unlike any
other rogue I have played before (monsters shoot arrows at you for
instance).  Can someone send me some documentation on it please? 
I have all sorts of stuff on 5.2 and some things on 9.0, but I don't
know about this one.

This is probably of interest to everyone in this newsgroup.  Where does
one get all these new and improved versions of rogue.  I know the follow-
ing -

	a.  Rogue 3.4 (?) Came with the 4.1 BSD tapes (At least it did
with ours).

	b.  Rogue 5.3 Comes with the 4.2 BSD distribution.

What on earth is Rogue 7.7 and 9.0 ?

Perhaps some one in the know could post a) A family tree of rogue versions,
and some indication of their distinguishing features.
b)  Some indication of who to contact for a distribution of these new
versions.

I have been getting a ton of mail asking for source, etc. on Rogue
7.7.  Sorry, people, all I have is an object file that runs on a 
VAX 11/780 under UNIX.  I have some documentation, but not much.

We have just gotten something calling itself AD_D version DEW 3.89.
It seems to be rather ridiculously hard, in over 300 games played
(among people who were VERY experienced at Rougue 5.3) no one has
gotten above exp. level 3, or farther down than 3. Is this how the 
game is supposed to work? Does anyone out there know this version?
It seems to follow the Ad_d books by TSR much more closely than 
other versions. I would appreciate any information. Thanx.
