	Rogue (game)
		Rogue is a computer game dating from 1980.
		Unlike most contemporary adventure games, however, the dungeon and everything in it was randomly-generated, yielding a different game each time it was played.
		Rogue was one of the first widely used applications of the screen control library curses[?].

		Rogue, however, may well be the only game in the medium's brief history that hasn't simply established a new style of play, but actually lent its name to a genre.
		The Rogue development trio chose to depict their dungeon mazes visually using a clever computer routine which allowed elaborate displays of text to be redrawn rapidly, paving the way for the creation of a simple ASCII text maze populated by iconic creatures and objects.
		Rogue featured bats and dragons as well, but in between the two was a full bestiary of creatures that included the unlikely (emus and kestrels), the annoying (a nymph who would steal items before vanishing), and the deadly (an ice monster which could freeze an unsuspecting player to death in a matter of seconds).

	Macworld: Rogue Spear
		Most computer games fall either into the Strategy or Action category, but Rogue Spear is a rare hybrid of the two -- tailored for both strategists who like to develop a plan and observe as it unfolds and for players who crave first-person shooter action.
		While Rogue Spear for the PC was released in September of 1999 -- in computer game terms well over an era ago -- MacSoft has recently made it available for the Mac, and the game hasn't lost any appeal over time.
		Rogue Spear is the sequel to the popular Rainbow Six, based on Tom Clancy's novel of the same name.

	Rogue
		Rogue build the dungeon using the pseudo-random number generator, so the game was different every time you played it, making it possible that even the creators of the game could be surprised by it.
		The purpose of Rogue was to descend into the Dungeons of Doom, defeat monsters and find treasure and come back with the amulet of Yendor.
		Rogue was also ported to other machines such as Apple Macintosh and Commodore Amiga and Atari ST, ZX Spectrum.

	Wikinfo \| Amulet of Yendor
		In a few computer games, especially NetHack, the Amulet of Yendor is a highly coveted artifact hidden somewhere in the dangerous dungeon.
		In early copies of Hack (computer game), the Amulet was somewhere underneath a boulder in a maze.
		However, due to the difficulty of these roguelike games, it is easy to wonder whether the Amulet is really down there at all, or if players always died before reaching it, or if every Amulet was a "cheap plastic imitation of the Amulet of Yendor".

	Roguelike
		A roguelike is a computer game that borrows some of the elements of another computer game, 1980's Rogue.
		In Rogue the dungeon is randomly regenerated each time the player begins the game, creating a new challenge each time and remaining fresh for the player.
		Most roguelikes provide a "save game" feature, but this is only intended to allow splitting a game across multiple sessions, and the save file will be deleted automatically when the character dies.

		Because of this, a properly-played game of Rogue is always a seach for treasure carried out at break-neck speed, where every move counts, where both ruthless monsters and the player's limited food supply drive a continual thirst for more loot.
		A game of Rogue that is not won as rapidly as possible is probably lost.
		The player begins the game stronger that most of his opponents, but the average experience and equipment gain of the player on a given level is not enough to keep up with the increase in monster power.

	Rogue Trooper PC Video Game Review by AceGamez
		Rogue is in view all the time and there's no option to go to a first person perspective, of which I'm glad, because it maintains the feeling of controlling your character rather than being your character, and maintains the viewpoint as laid down in the comic.
		Rogue can hide behind walls, bunkers, rocky outcroppings and so on, poking his head around the corner to take out unwary Norts, or tossing grenades into the mix for a real feel of confusion.
		I think the game designers were aware that thanks to the source material we weren't going to see much more than concrete pillboxes, blasted futuristic ruins, shell-pocked barren wastelands, functional barracks, research facilities and factories.

	A Brief History of "Rogue"
		The classic computer game "Rogue" was developed over a a period of a few years by a number of people.
		Most of the existing adventure-type games had "canned" adventures -- they were exactly the same every time you played, and of course the programmers had to invent all of the puzzles, and therefore would always know how to beat the game.
		Rogue is generally credited with being the first "graphical" adventure game, and it probably was at least one of the first (Wizardry could probably also make the claim).
