Epyx Rogue
The original ever-changing dungeon crawler.

In the 1980s a computer game emerged that changed the world of fantasy gaming forever. Randomly generated rooms meant that each journey into the infamous Dungeons of Doom was unique. The potent combination of random generation with perma-death proved to be intoxicating, and the game was so influential it spawned an entire genre: "Rogue-likes".

Now you too can experience the thrill of dungeon crawling for the fabled Amulet of Yendor in this pioneering game. Delve deep into this recreation of the original graphical port of Rogue by strategy game giants Epyx, that replaced the earlier text-based interface with pixel-art for the first time.

• Battle dozens of unique and powerful enemies.
• Gather armor, weapons, food and other items to help you on your quest.
• Scour rooms for secret hidden doors and traps.
• Discover strange magical spells and potions, which have different wonderous effects every time you play the game.
• Survive through 26 randomly generated levels, each more tricky and dangerous than the last, to find the Amulet, then escape... if you can!
