    On the other hand, Rogue for the Amiga is the best version of Rogue
that I have ever played on just about any machine.  Unlike Epyx's version
on the IBM or AtariST, it is very playable!  All of the standard Unix
movement keys are available.  In addition, they have provided a very
playable mouse interface also, unlike the interface on the ST which I
find to be more of a detrement than a help.  The game is not overly
easy, nor unduly hard.
    Graphics have also been added to the game, and I don't find them to
be distracting at all.  All in all, I think the version of Rogue on the
Amiga (by Epyx) is just about the most enjoyable version of Rogue that
I have had the chance to play...
