 I have played a couple of games of Epyx Rogue and found it annoying. 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.

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.
