- Piss off, asshole. If it was such intellectual property, where is
- your copy and why aren't you making it available? You are obviously
- one of these stupid people who mishandled it.
-
- Nobody said Rogue wasn't a great game, which we all know or we wouldn't
- be reading this group, which is lucky it hasn't been deleted, what for
- all the traffic. Usually it is about people looking for LARN. So there
- is a little stuff you narrow minded jerks might be interested in, and
- you jump all over it - as if there was something else to read here.
-
- Both Nethack and Moria and other games as well all owe debts to Rogue,
- which fact you excised from your flamage. Even now, some of those games
- don't have the screen handling and fast-play modes of rogue, but they
- do have so many other things that the seasoned Rogue player would just
- love, that extend the concept, and make for great enjoyment. So you go
- stick with pong, we don't care.
