+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is a computer fantasy game with a new twist.
+It is CRT oriented and the object of the game is to survive the attacks of
+various monsters and get a lot of gold, rather than the puzzle solving
+orientation of most computer fantasy games.
+.Pp
+To get started you really only need to know two commands.
+The command
+.Ic \&?
+will give you a list of the available commands and the command
+.Ic \&/
+will identify the things you see on the screen.
+.Pp
+To win the game (as opposed to merely playing to beat other people's high
+scores) you must locate the Amulet of Yendor which is somewhere below
+the 20th level of the dungeon and get it out.
+Nobody has achieved this yet and if somebody does, they will probably go
+down in history as a hero among heroes.
+.Pp
+When the game ends, either by your death, when you quit, or if you (by
+some miracle) manage to win,
+.Nm
+will give you a list of the top-ten scorers.
+The scoring is based entirely upon how much gold you get.
+There is a 10% penalty for getting yourself killed.
+.Pp
+If
+.Ar save_file
+is specified,
+rogue will be restored from the specified saved game file.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fl s
+option will print out the list of scores.
+.Pp

+Probably infinite, although none are known.
+However, that Ice Monsters sometimes transfix you permanently is
+.Em not
+a bug.
+It's a feature.
