Rogue (the original) under Virtual PC

For those who do not know - Rogue is quite possibly the greatest 'old school' game of all time - and the predecessor of most modern 'dungeon exploration' games. Indeed - when the infamous 'Diablo' was released it felt very much like Rogue with modern graphics.

As well as this - Rogue has spawned an entire category of games which are usually referred to as 'Rogue-like'. The most popular of which is 'NetHack'. However I personally prefer the original Rogue - as I find most other 'Rogue-like' games to be far too complex.

You can find out more about Rogue at the following sites: https://www.wichman.org/roguehistory.html and https://home.wanadoo.nl/loche/rogue/index.html.

And as you can see - it runs perfectly under Virtual PC:

Well - it has taken several hours of 'research' in order to write this post - so if you don't mind, I have a turquoise potion that I need to quaff… Ugh… I feel very sick now…
