I love this game – I spent many a night in the computer room at university playing this….
For those of you who've had problems with the throw command I'd recommend trying the alternative finger gestures (e.g. to throw left draw a line from right to left going through the centre of the screen) the same principle applies to thowing in any direction (i.e. always a straight line through the centre, drawn in the direction you want to throw). This prevents those aggravating moments when you find that you had thrown a valuable object.

Its great to have this on my iPhone now. I have a few other games on my phone but this is the one I am playing more than anything else.

Well done.

This is a decent port of a great game, and it really gives me hope that we'll see more complex roguelikes such as nethack or moria sometime soon.

I have run into a couple of bugs, particularly with directional commands such as zap and throw — especially throw. Sometimes throw just accesses the wrong item completely or suddenly jumps to a different command menu (usually asking what item you want to eat). These are frustrating, but the game is still playable. Hopefully they'll be fixed in an update soon.

when I say it's "like reading a book", i mean you have to imagine the environment, whereas in a movie (and modern video games), the environment is imagined for you.

And all these roguelike games can be much more intriguing, since you have time to plan out (or escape from) an attack. You have to think.

I recently beat Rogue for the first time in more than 20 years of trying. Greatest single moment of my entire life!
