I used to play this game in 89' on my radio shack PC. Hours and hours of entertainment in the barracks. Let your mind wander about how many ways to bet with soldiers and this game. As I said, hours of enjoyment.

It's a bit weird trying to do a review for Rogue. It's THE game that started all the Rogue games. Roguelike has entered the language as meaning a dungeon crawler with quests, beasties, magic items, and treasure. That's what it is. I love it - but will you? If you loved it before, go, buy it again! Come back if you're stuck on working the Save function - i do explain that below. It's old (born in 1980 and freeware at the time), so the graphics are barely graphics, it's just a few symbols, lines, dots, and some letters. R means Rattlesnake (all the letters are beasties), that musical note is a scroll, etc. You're that lit sort-of-smiley that sheds a little light from your torch. The game does explain what you're meeting, seeing, or picking up, and on this version, you spoiled kids have the actual Instruction Manual! I am enjoying playing, it's amazing how one needs so little actual graphics to be suddenly (in one's imagination) in a dungeon, bravely exploring (or running for the door down, that you saw in the last room, before the troll catches you). Perhaps if you grew up with maybe Morrowind being the least fancy graphics you saw, this might not be playable. But it's so cheap, do you care? It might be really good. However, the save function is... tricky. I first played Rogue back in about 1987. I used it to teach people how to use computers. Back then people were still refusing to learn how to use them. They thought they were like typing, or algebra, "it's not like I'll ever need them in real life!" -and funnily, i DID have to use both algebra and typing as i got into computers. Or they were deathly afraid of THE KEY - the keyboard key that would, when struck, wipe the computer or make it explode. Giving them a game (and yes, getting them addicted), turned out to be a fabulous way to help them learn that bashing the keyboard while fighting a rattlesnake (or a troll) wasn't terminal, at least not for the computer. I utterly loved the game. We never figured out the Save function, so always had to play until we died. And die we did. A lot. Though sometimes we'd come to work in the morning (10am, it was a music studio, we didn't do early), and discover the night shift (supposed to knock off by 11pm) still playing. Staff would slide in when it wasn't their shift, in the hope of getting a game in. So right from the start, video games were addictive. It's really nothing new. However, I have got the Saving down now - so if you're interested, Type capital S, save a game as say SAVE1.SAV and it will ask you to start a new game or go back to Steam. Say no to a new game, go back to Steam, and then copy your SAVE1,SAV, rename the copy as ROGUE.SAV and the game will then load it. It will not load any other .SAV file. It will not see them. ROGUE.SAV is the only one. And once it's loaded a ROGUE.SAV file? Yeah, it DELETES it, hence me saying copy it and rename the copy. This sounds awfully complex and weird. Well yes, i suppose it might be - but the game barely uses any space, or any memory. It is therefore super fast to both load, or to save, quit, copy your save, load, go again. You don't need to shut down the File Manager (I'm in Windows on a PC) you can leave that open for access to the Rogue SAV files. So i'm coping with the fiddly bits. Oh, the SAV files are with the rest of the game, just look at Steam, the game, and right click to get the Manage option, then Local Files. Go to bottom of Rogue directories, and the SAV files will be with the actual Game EXE. Easy as. Well. Possibly Retro as?

For a game that dropped in 1980 and pretty much invented the now overused (and often misapplied) term "roguelike," Rogue still holds up as a damn good time. This is gaming distilled down to its brutal, brilliant essence - no flashy graphics, no hand-holding, just pure dungeon-crawling tension where every step could be your last. I'm currently diving into the 1985 version (available here for under $3), and it's shockingly addictive. If you’ve got even a passing interest in gaming history or just want to see where the genre got its teeth, this is absolutely worth a play. You might even start to understand why so many modern indie devs are still trying to recapture what Rogue nailed 40+ years ago.

Rogue is a masterpiece of simplicity and depth. It’s easy to pick up and play, but every run feels like a new adventure full of challenges and surprises. The game perfectly balances accessibility with strategic depth, making it one of those games where you always tell yourself, "Just one more run!" The randomly generated dungeons ensure no two playthroughs are the same, and the difficulty keeps you on your toes without feeling unfair. Whether you're a fan of classic roguelikes or just discovering the genre, Rogue is an absolute gem that stands the test of time. So glad I stumbled upon this – highly recommend it!
