DOS Rogue Clone
Version 2.0.1 · Michael Lehotay
Description
Author's homepage: http://post.queensu.ca/~lehotay/yendor.html. This is an excellent DOS port of the Rogue, similar in gameplay to the Jon Lane verison that's been on SUPER for years, but with the fell of the Unix Rogue versions. Derived from Tim Stoehr's Rogue 5.3 clone version III and uses the same character graphics as the Unix Rogue.

The author's instructions
Installation for Windows Users Use a program such as WinZip or pkunzip to extract all the files from the zip archive to any folder you like. "C:\Program Files\Rogue" is a good choice. You may find it convenient to place a shortcut to Rogue.exe on your desktop or in your Start Menu. If you don't know how to do this, you can look it up in Windows Help by choosing Help from the Start Menu and looking for "shortcuts" and "start menu" in the index. You should put "C:\Program Files\Rogue" (or the folder where you put Rogue.exe) in the "Start in" or "Working" field of your shortcut. Start Rogue Clone by selecting your shortcut from the Start Menu, double clicking on your shortcut on the desktop, or double clicking on Rogue.exe. Windows 3.1 uses the phrase "program items" instead of shortcuts. If you need help installing Rogue Clone under Windows 3.1, search for "creating program items" in Program Manager Help. Uninstallation for Windows Users To uninstall Rogue Clone, delete "C:\Program Files\Rogue" (or whatever folder you created during installation) and any shortcuts you created. If you need help with this, look up "deleting files" in Windows Help. Windows 3.1 users should search for "deleting directories" in File Manager Help and "deleting program items" in Program Manager Help.
