Rogue The Adventure Game (Epyx)

[Hillsy_]

Hope one day Rogue The Adventure Game by Epyx is WHDified.

I would buy it on ebay for the A500, but well...we already got the result there.

Just a request to get the ball rolling.

Cheers!

I think I saw it on eBay a couple of months back (but might have been the ST version)... if someone sees it pop up give me a kick about it

One here, but only if you have a deep wallet

Haha, that's BastiBS and his ridiculous prices again. He's well known and "loved" here in Germany.

I assume Amike/Nestrak has it? Since he scanned the cover for Kultboy.com

I know that guy too I think it must have been the ST version I saw... it went for around $10 I think.

Some funny code/texts in that game:

SoftwarePirat.MSG0
	DC.B	'Software Pirate',0
	DC.B	'%u Au',0
Killedbys.MSG
	DC.B	'Killed by %s',0
aProtectionTh.MSG
	DC.B	'a Protection Thug',0
d.MSG
	DC.B	'%d',0

A patch for this excellent game is now available, have fun.

[Retro-Nerd]

Thanks a bunch, Stingy. Never played it but i like the genre.

[StingRay]

It's a very addictive game, highly recommended.

[Retro-Nerd]

I hope Retroplay has a disk image. If not please upload the preinstalled version into The Zone.

edit: or is the TOSEC image a proper original?

On HOL there's even a screenshot showing that

I wonder if there's really a monster called "a Protection Thug" which kills you if it detects that you're a pirate, or if it just appears in place of whatever really killed you in the high scores after you've died?

Anyway, I love NetHack, and since it descended from Rogue, I'll be sure to play this one!

If the protection check fails you'll be instantly killed and can enjoy the nice message on your tombstone.

I have a disk image and have just installed and added it to FTP.

Now if anybody have a compatible Genlock Holmes image I would be much grateful.
It seems to be quite elusive to find.

Awesome protection! I kinda want to try the badly cracked version just for that

Thanks StingRay, very much appreciated!! Will grab this from the zone. Really glad to see this one WHDified! A hidden gem in the Amiga Catalogue.

[dlfrsilver]

this game is indeed very addictive, and the graphics are quite beautiful to me

[lordofchaos]

Thanks for doing this StingRay! I've wanted to get into this game ever since I started playing NetHack
