rogue
<games> [Unix] A Dungeons-and-Dragons-like game using character graphics,
written under BSD Unix and subsequently ported to other Unix systems. The
original BSD "curses(3)" screen-handling package was hacked together by Ken
Arnold to support "rogue(6)" and has since become one of Unix's most important
and heavily used application libraries. Nethack, Omega, Larn, and an entire
subgenre of computer dungeon games all took off from the inspiration provided by
"rogue(6)". See also nethack.
