[net.games.rogue] the LAST game

charliep (12/24/82)

Finally, I can quit playing rogue forever, because I won't be able
to ever improve upon this:
Level: 100;  Gold: 31315;  Hp: 159;  Str:18/100;  Ac: -4;  Exp: 20/3279220
Final score: 32315 (< 32756).

My final score is not impressive, until I mention that:
PDP 11/70's can only count 15 bits of gold, and my purse showed -32503
after I picked up some gold on level 58.  39 levels later, I had to stop
amassing gold so that I would not go negative again.
At that point, my greatest fear was that the way to level 100
(a nice round number) would not be impeded by gold at a critical doorway.
Game time exceeded 5 hours.  I hope that I have satiated this
particular appetite forever.

PS. A bug -- when my score went negative, the next item I found
was erroneously "identified" for me (a ring of slow digestion),
and duplicated in my pack!
