Oh MANNNN I spent so much time playing rogue back in the day. I got decently good at it, but it was hard. I don't think I ever actually won. I do recall a strategy of clearing out the easier levels in order to gain treasure and magic items. At a certain point you wouldn't be able to defeat all the monsters, so you'd try to find the stairs as quickly as possible. On the occasions where I'd get really far -- far enough to start looking for the amulet! -- I'd get trapped by some powerful monster like a Titan and get killed instantly.Such a letdown. You'd play for hours and it would all be over in an instant. That damned tombstone.
