+.Sh NAME
+.Nm hack
+.Nd exploring The Dungeons of Doom
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl d Ar directory
+.Op Fl n
+.Op Fl u Ar playername
+.Nm
+.Op Fl d Ar directory
+.Op Fl s
+.Op Fl X
+.Op Ar playername ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is a display oriented dungeons \*[Am] dragons-like game.
+Both display and command structure resemble rogue.
+(For a game with the same structure but entirely different display -
+a real cave instead of dull rectangles - try Quest.)
+.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, he 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 escape
+from the caves,
+.Nm
+will give you (a fragment of) the list of top scorers.
+The scoring is based on many aspects of your behavior but a rough estimate
+is obtained by taking the amount of gold you've found in the cave plus four
+times your (real) experience.
+Precious stones may be worth a lot of gold when brought to the exit.
+There is a 10% penalty for getting yourself killed.
+.Pp
+The administration of the game is kept in the directory specified with the
+.Fl d
+option, or, if no such option is given, in the directory specified by
+the environment variable
+.Ev HACKDIR ,
+or, if no such variable exists, in the current directory.
+This same directory contains several auxiliary files such as lockfiles and
+the list of topscorers and a subdirectory
+.Pa save
+where games are saved.
+The game administrator may however choose to install
+.Nm
+with a fixed playing ground, usually
+.Pa /var/games/hackdir .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fl n
+option suppresses printing of the news.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fl u Ar playername
+option supplies the answer to the question "Who are you?".
+When
+.Ar playername
+has as suffix one of
+.Em -T ,
+.Em -S ,
+.Em -K ,
+.Em -F ,
+.Em -C ,
+or
+.Em -W ,
+then this supplies the answer to the question "What kind of character ... ?".
+.Pp
+The
+.Fl s
+option will print out the list of your scores.
+It may be followed by arguments
+.Fl X
+where X is one of the letters C, F, K, S, T, W to print the scores of
+Cavemen, Fighters, Knights, Speleologists, Tourists or Wizards.
+It may also be followed by one or more player names to print the scores of the
+players mentioned.
