Why does anyone play this ridiculous game?  It's a complete reem-job.
No matter how fantastically lucky you get, which you have to be to get
to level 20, you still get stuck between two phantoms and two black
unicorns, and gee, too bad I used my scare monster scroll when I fought
those five troll two minutes ago, and the other one I burned by reading,
etc.  You can't win this mess, and how far you get is dependent on random
chance.  I have an idea, if you feel like a game of rogue while your
computer is down, go strap yourself to an anthill and you'll get the
same effect.
