Rogue

The original curses-based adventure game

Website

Description

The one, the only, the original graphical adventure game that spawned an

entire genre.

Rogue 5.4 was developed between 1983 and 1984. The most common release

of 5.4 is found on the BSD 4.3 Unix distribution tape (June 1986) as

archived on the CSRG Archives CD Set and only as a binary executable.

This is the final version of the original (Toy, Arnold, Wichman) rogue

developed for the UNIX operating system. The source code was recovered

by Ken Arnold and posted on Sourceforge which I then copied and restored

here.
