The graphics were cute with little pictures of walls, monsters etc. However, Rogue is one program where the keyboard is clearly superior to the mouse. Epyx Rogue requires you to use the mouse to move and thus requires you to bang away on the mouse constantly. The other problem is that the entire level will not fit on the screen at once so it can get confusing. No, it doesn't have any of the features of Adv Rogue. Pierce Wetter wetter@tybalt.caltech.edu -------------- My employer doesn't care about me posting to the net because I don't have one. --------- Fortune's nomination for All-Time Champion and Protector of Youthful Morals goes to Representative Clare E. Hoffman of Michigan. During an impassioned House debate over a proposed bill to "expand oyster and clam research," a sharp-eared informant transcribed the following exchange between our hero and Rep. John D. Dingell, also of Michigan. DINGELL: There are places in the world at the present time where we are having to artificially propagate oysters and clams. HOFFMAN: You mean the oysters I buy are not nature's oysters? DINGELL: They may or may not be natural. The simple fact of the matter is that female oysters through their living habits cast out large amounts of seed and the male oysters cast out large amounts of fertilization. HOFFMAN: Wait a minute! I do not want to go into that. There are many teenagers who read The Congressional Record. -------------------------------------------- wetter@tybalt.caltech.edu --------------------------------------------
